'Iran Having Hard Time With Food': Trump Claims Unfrozen Assets Will Be Used To Buy US Farm Goods
US President Donald Trump has claimed that Iran will soon become a new market for American agricultural exports, saying the US would use Iranian funds to purchase wheat, soybeans, and corn as the country grapples with food shortages.
Tehran swiftly rejected the assertion, with Iran's Parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf dismissing Trump's remarks as "false" and accusing Washington of spreading "broken promises and trash talks."
In a post on X, he said, "America falsely claims our unfrozen assets will buy their agriculture. Interesting. The only crop we're harvesting is what you planted: decades of mistrust. It's organic, abundant, and homegrown. But apparently the US only exports GMO soybeans, broken promises and trash talks."
