Iran Confident Deal with US Will Return Frozen $6 Billion in Assets

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has expressed confidence that discussions with the United States will proceed successfully, stating that a deal could return $6 billion in frozen assets. According to Al-Jazeera, Pezeshkian said the frozen funds, currently held in Qatar, would be returned as part of an initial agreement with the US aimed at ending the war. “All the terms of the memorandum of understanding are in our favour, and the success of these talks and negotiations will be proven,” Pezeshkian said, as quoted by the Tasnim news agency. He added that President Trump, “who recently prohibited us from many things in his speeches, has declared all of these as the rights of the people and the nation.” “Our $6 billion in Qatar will be returned,” he added. Pezeshkian also took a swipe at Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, saying he would be “the first person unhappy with the negotiations” in Switzerland. “America’s only point is that we do not have an atomic bomb. This is something the martyred leader also repeatedly said: ‘We do not want an atomic bomb,’” Pezeshkian stated. “America said ‘write this down and sign it’ – and we signed it.”
