U.S. President Donald Trump says any Iranian funds that are unfrozen through sanctions relief or released by the U.S. Treasury will be placed into a Washington-controlled escrow account. Trump says the funds will be controlled by the United States and can be used by Iran to buy food and medical supplies, with purchases limited to U.S.-supplied goods, including items such as corn, wheat and soybeans. The statement follows U.S. moves described by outlets as involving temporary sanctions relief to allow Iran to access funds for humanitarian needs. Trump also frames the arrangement as addressing what he calls a humanitarian crisis. Separately, reporting notes that the broader context involves U.S.-Iran negotiations aimed at ending a Middle East war and shaping elements of a potential long-term framework, including Iran’s nuclear program. Multiple outlets attribute the escrow position to Trump’s comments posted on his Truth Social account, and they describe the mechanism as ensuring U.S. control over how released funds are used.
