A member of Iran's negotiating team said there is no exclusivity for purchasing American goods, pushing back against the assertion that unfrozen Iranian funds would be spent solely on US agricultural products. The statement was reported by Iranian news channels.
A member of Iran's negotiating team, Karbasanzadeh, stated on Wednesday that there is no exclusivity for purchasing American goods, according to Iranian Telegram news channels. The remark directly contradicts President Trump's claim — reported by The Zioneer on June 22 — that unfrozen Iranian funds would be used only for American agricultural products. It also follows the Iranian central bank governor's June 23 denial that Tehran is committed to buying US goods. The Iranian negotiator's latest statement appears to reinforce Tehran's position of resistance to the economic conditions linked to the unfreezing of assets, even as a potential deal framework reportedly emerges. No further details on the exclusivity or the funds' terms were provided. The claim is reported by a single Iranian-aligned source; corroboration is pending.
