Iran's Qalibaf rejects US claim that unfrozen assets will be spent on US goods

DUBAI: Iran's top negotiator Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf said on Thursday that the United States' claims that Iran will spend its unfrozen assets to buy U.S. agricultural products were false.

"The US only exports GMO soybeans, broken promises and trash talks," Qalibaf said in a post on X.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent echoed President Donald Trump on Wednesday and insisted that a large percentage of Iran's unfrozen assets would be used to buy U.S. foods and medicine even as Iran says it would determine its spending.
