Iran freezes funds, unfreezes agreement enters final stage
According to sources cited by Saudi Arabian Television, the agreement to unfreeze Iran's frozen funds has entered its final stage, with the main obstacle being the fund disposal mechanism. Both sides are discussing the establishment of a special fund to store frozen assets and gradually release funds under international supervision, in order to balance the US's concerns about immediate cash access with Iran's economic interests. Analyst Giuseppe Dellamotta pointed out that Iran is demanding the unfreezing of approximately $2 billion in funds it holds overseas, particularly in Qatar, as a key test for sanctions relief. Diplomats believe that if the funding mechanism issue is resolved, both sides may be able to push forward with a formal agreement.
