Iran will be 'only country' to determine how to use unfrozen assets: ambassador
Iran's ambassador stated that Tehran will unilaterally decide how to use its unfrozen assets under a US-Iranian deal aimed at ending the Middle East war. The deal involves the US releasing $12 billion in frozen funds and temporarily suspending oil sanctions, but US Vice President JD Vance countered that the assets could be used to purchase US goods rather than fund terrorism.
