Summary
A new US proposal would allow frozen Iranian assets to be used to buy American goods, marking a rare economic opening between the two countries.
Nearly 50 years after Iran's revolutionary government cut ties with Washington, the plan would redirect blocked funds rather than restore normal financial relations.
The idea lands against a backdrop of decades of hostility that began with the 1979 US embassy hostage crisis and Iran's enduring anti-American posture.
