Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf refuted recent US assertions regarding the intended use of Iran’s recently unfrozen assets. According to Ghalibaf, the US claims that these funds will be exclusively used to purchase American agricultural products are inaccurate. He characterized US statements as stemming from a long history of broken promises and a deep-seated lack of trust. Ghalibaf’s remarks signal Iran’s intention to independently determine how the released funds are utilized. The speaker emphasized Washington’s track record of unreliability in its dealings with Iran. This statement represents a firm rejection of US attempts to dictate the terms of access to the funds, which were released as part of a prisoner swap deal. The situation highlights ongoing tensions and distrust between the two nations despite the recent exchange.
