US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent emphasized on Wednesday that a large share of frozen Iranian assets will be used to purchase food and medicines from the United States, confirming remarks previously made by President Donald Trump on the matter.
However, Iran says it is the one that will determine how these funds are spent.
The US Treasury said it will not renew exemptions on Russian and Iranian oil. (Reuters)
