Trump administration touts Iran deal as a payday for US farmers, but Iran denies it

A tentative US-Iran deal to end hostilities promises a financial boost for American farmers, with President Trump asserting frozen Iranian assets will fund US crop purchases.

Sanctions experts are uncertain about the mechanism for such asset transfers, raising questions about the deal's specifics and Iran's autonomy over its unfrozen funds.
