Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi says his country will use $6 billion in unlocked funds 'wherever we need it' – rejecting a limitation in negotiations with the U.S. that limits the money to 'humanitarian purposes.'Raisi's comments, in a sit-down with News in Tehran, comes a day after the Biden administration announced the extraordinary deal that would free five detained Americans, while unlocking the funding for Tehran. In the interview, Raisi told the network's Lester Holt that the needs of the Iranian people would be determined 'by the Iranian government,' after being asked specifically if it would be for humanitarian purposes including food and medicine, in a country hit by crippling amid economic sanctions.
