China froze all of Iran’s money after President Xi visited with President Trump in D.C. Before Trump’s blockade, China was buying 90% of Iran’s oil exports.
Iranian President Pezeshkian told Bret Baier on Fox News, All our money in China has been frozen. We shipped our underground oil over there, tanker by tanker, only for the payment to be tightly withheld in their banks, not a single cent withdrawable.
And It Was the Iranian President Who Told the World
The Iranian President himself spilled the embarrassing information, lamenting what he seemed to describe as a betrayal of sorts – if it’s true.
During the UN General Assembly, Iranian President Pezeshkian sat down for an exclusive interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier.
Baier was pressing him on Iran’s funding of various armed groups in the Middle East, and Pezeshkian, eager to clear his name, poured out his grievances right there on live national TV.
He said China froze their money, and they can’t get it back from the country they supplied. They can’t pay people in other corners of the world.
It is very strange that the Iranian head of state would end up on a US conservative network complaining about his strategic partner.
As for China, if this is true, it’s possible the Chinese central bank can’t afford to deal with US sanctions.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian:
One of the problems that we face is that our money in China is blocked.
We can’t even get our own money out of a country to which we have supplied goods, let alone use those funds to pay someone else in another corner of the world. pic.twitter.com/oHX1oXDal8

This war is very sad and distressing. I just want to see it end, along with the Ukraine war.
If only Iran would stop lying and give up the nuclear. It seems the country is still divided, and the IRGC runs the country, not this president.
If they are not seeking the bomb, why not give up their nuclear program? Bret Baier asked him the question. The answer was not believable.
“Do you want a nuclear bomb or not?”@BretBaier cuts to the chase in an exclusive interview with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, directly questioning the leader about his country’s nuclear ambitions.
“Not at all. Not at all,” Pezeshkian responds, insisting Iran does not… pic.twitter.com/jkFEyi9rWd
