‘Great victory’: Iran says Qatar to release $6bn in frozen assets, contradicts Trump’s claims

Claiming a ‘great victory,’ Iran’s President announced the expected release of $6 billion in frozen assets held in Qatar. This declaration arrives amidst increasing hostilities in the Persian Gulf, contributing to the volatility surrounding the U.S.-Iran negotiations. Iran is adamant regarding the fund release, though the U.S. asserts no assets have been unblocked. With Pakistan facilitating discussions, it remains uncertain whether Iran will engage in upcoming negotiations.
