The Trump administration's proposal to release frozen Iranian funds to buy US farm goods has raised concerns. The plan, intended to help the Iranian people, may ultimately benefit the regime instead.
The proposal has drawn comparisons to the Iraq Oil-for-Food program, which was plagued by catastrophic failures. Without independent oversight, the deal risks repeating the same mistakes.
Experts warn that the proposal is more about market engineering than a genuine humanitarian gesture. The lack of transparency and accountability in the deal has sparked concerns about its potential consequences.
