Tehran: Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has dismissed American claims that Iran's unfrozen assets would be used to purchase US agricultural products, saying Washington has 'exported decades of mistrust and broken promises'.
According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Ghalibaf took to his X account on Thursday to address the American assertions regarding the use of Iran's unfrozen assets. He criticized the US, highlighting a history of broken promises and suggesting that the only thing Iran is harvesting is the mistrust sown by the US over the years. Ghalibaf's comments underscored Iran's stance that it would not be compelled to buy US agricultural products despite the claims made by US officials.
The remarks from Ghalibaf come in response to renewed US statements suggesting that Iran would be required to purchase agricultural goods exclusively from the United States as part of a recently discussed framework agreement. Ghalibaf's statements emphasize Iran's skepticism towards US intentions and policies, particularly in light of historical grievances.
