A US official told The Jerusalem Post that reports of $3 billion in Iranian funds being unfrozen are premature. The statement, posted by Amichai Stein, clarifies:

“No frozen funds have been released and no frozen funds will be released unless Iran meets the requirements outlined in the MOU. As the MOU outlines, the United States must approve how the funds are used. If Iranian assets are released, they will be used to purchase American agricultural products from American farmers to feed the Iranian people.”
