U.S. President Donald Trump stated Monday evening that the frozen Iranian funds set to be released would be used exclusively to purchase food from American farmers, according to a report. Iran's official news agency immediately denied the claim, calling it a complete lie. The statement continues a pattern of contradictory claims between Washington and Tehran regarding the status and terms of any agreement, as The Zioneer has reported extensively over recent weeks. No independent confirmation of the details or the mechanism for such a purchase has been provided.
