Iran is reportedly demanding the release of its frozen $24 billion in overseas assets before officially signing any peace agreement with the United States.
According to Reuters-linked and regional reports, Tehran considers access to the funds a key condition for advancing a proposed memorandum of understanding tied to sanctions relief, regional security, and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian negotiators are reportedly pushing for at least $12 billion to be released immediately, with the remainder transferred within 60 days under the proposed framework.
While indirect talks mediated by Qatar and Oman have shown progress, major disagreements remain unresolved, including issues related to Iran’s nuclear program and long-term sanctions relief. No final agreement has been officially confirmed by either Washington or Tehran so far.
