Iran’s Parliament Speaker Bagher Ghalibaf on Thursday rejected US claims that Tehran would use billions of dollars in restored assets to purchase American agricultural products under a recent agreement between the two countries.

In a post on the social media platform X, Ghalibaf dismissed the assertion and accused Washington of misrepresenting the terms regarding Iran’s unfrozen funds.

“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,” he wrote.

His remarks came after US President Donald Trump said that $12 billion in Iranian assets would be released under a new agreement between Washington and Tehran, but would remain in a designated account.

According to Trump, Iran would be allowed to use the funds only to purchase agricultural products such as corn, soybeans and wheat from American farmers, as well as medicines.

US Vice President JD Vance and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent also backed the proposal, saying the funds, overseen by Qatar, would be used in a way that benefits the US agricultural sector.

Iran, however, has firmly rejected the notion that Washington can dictate how the restored assets are spent.

Iranian officials involved in negotiations with the United States, including Ghalibaf and the Foreign Ministry, have maintained that Tehran alone will decide where and how its funds are used.

They said that if Iran chooses to import agricultural products, it will do so based on market prices, quality and national interests, rather than any conditions imposed by the United States.

The exchange highlights continuing disagreements between Tehran and Washington despite ongoing negotiations aimed at implementing and expanding the recent agreement.
