Iran Central Bank Chief: Not Obligated to Buy US Agricultural Products
Tehran. Iran's Central Bank Chief Abdolnaser Hemmati has said that Iran is not obligated to buy agricultural products from America. US President Donald Trump had recently claimed that the funds provided to Iran would be used to purchase American agricultural products. Responding to that, Hemmati said this in an interview with the Iranian news agency Tasnim.
According to Hemmati, according to the agreement between America and Iran, the first 6 billion US dollars can be used to purchase necessary consumer goods and medicines. 'There is no obligation to buy agricultural products from America. But if the price and quality of American goods are suitable compared to other countries, there is no obstacle to buying from there,' he said.
He said that the remaining 6 billion dollars are not restricted to be spent only on basic goods. According to him, Iran can also buy other goods from that amount that are not on the sanctions list.
