Tehran hits back at Trump’s plan for Iran to enrich American farmers

He said Iran’s major suppliers include Brazil, India, Turkey, the European Union, Canada, Australia and Argentina and that Trump’s demand would “create some hard feelings with some of our competitors.”Iran’s ambassador in Geneva, Ali Bahreini, also questioned Vice President JD Vance’s assertion that the U.S. and Qatar would have to approve how Iran uses unfrozen funds. “Iran is the only country who decides what to do with those assets,” Bahreini told reporters.In fullIran-US war latest: Iranian banks hit by cyber attack after Trump said millions in frozen funds would be releasedThank you for registeringPlease refresh the page or navigate to another page on the site to be automatically logged inPlease refresh your browser to be logged in
