Earlier on Monday, Iran’s president said $6 billion in frozen Iranian assets would be released by Qatar, as negotiations with the United States are challenged by attacks at the weekend across the Persian Gulf.
President Masoud Pezeshkian is the highest-ranking official within Iran to reference the release of the funds held by Qatar, a key mediator in the negotiations with Pakistan.
So far, U.S. officials say no frozen Iranian assets have been released.
