  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nPresident Donald Trump said Tuesday that any Iranian funds unfrozen through sanctions relief or released by the US Treasury would go into a Washington-controlled escrow account.\n\nTehran could tap the account to purchase US food and medical supplies. The announcement came as Washington and Tehran continue negotiating the terms of a broader peace deal.\n\n#### What did Trump say about the unfrozen Iran funds?\n\nTrump said the money would be held in escrow under US control and used exclusively to buy American food and medical supplies. He named corn, wheat and soybeans specifically, framing the arrangement as support for US farmers. The funds would not be transferred directly to Iran for unrestricted use.\n\n\"The Money and/or Sanctions that the US Treasury is releasing goes into escrow, controlled by the USA, and will be used for the purchase of food and medical supplies, exclusively from the United States, including Corn, Wheat, and Soybeans from our great American Farmers,\" Trump posted on his Truth Social platform. He added that the situation amounted to a humanitarian crisis requiring immediate action.\n\n#### Why is Iran getting access to unfrozen funds?\n\nWashington and Tehran signed a deal aimed at ending the Middle East war and are now negotiating key elements of a lasting peace. These include the future of Iran's nuclear program. As part of the agreement, Tehran is set to receive some form of sanctions relief from Washington along with the unfreezing of certain assets.\n\n#### What sanctions relief has the US already granted?\n\nThe US Treasury Department said Monday it was temporarily lifting sanctions on Iran to allow the country to produce, sell and deliver crude oil and related products.\n\nThe relief runs through August 21 while negotiations continue. The move gives Iran limited but immediate economic breathing room as talks progress.",
