Foreign Media: Iran's Frozen Assets Agreement Enters Final Stage, Hopes of Bridging Differences

BlockBeats News, June 4th, according to sources cited by Al Arabiya, the agreement to unfreeze Iran's frozen funds has entered its final stages, with the main obstacle involving the disposal mechanism of a portion of the frozen funds. A proposal to establish a special fund to hold the frozen Iranian assets is under discussion.

Furthermore, Trump has informed the mediator that he opposes releasing funds to Iran before the formal signing of the agreement. The mechanism of the special fund may allow for a gradual release of funds under international supervision, potentially bridging the gap between US concerns about Iran immediately accessing cash and Iran's demand for tangible economic benefits.

Giuseppe Dellamotta, an analyst at the US financial website InvestingLive, stated that the dispute over frozen assets has been a recurring theme throughout the entire negotiation process. Recent reports over the past few weeks indicate that Iranian negotiators have been exerting pressure to unfreeze billions of dollars held overseas (especially in Qatar) and see this issue as a key test of whether Washington is willing to provide significant sanction relief.

Despite significant differences that still exist, the latest reports suggest that negotiators are increasingly focusing on technical implementation issues rather than fundamental political disagreements. Diplomats believe that if the frozen asset mechanism issue can be resolved, both sides may be able to advance towards a formal agreement, which would provide Iran with limited economic assistance while maintaining US leverage for future negotiations on more sensitive issues.
