US President Donald Trump has expressed his reluctance to release funds to Iran before finalizing an agreement with Tehran. The proposed accord is nearing completion but remains stalled over the issue of Iran’s frozen assets.
Arab media outlets report that discussions are ongoing between the parties regarding a mechanism for releasing these funds, which they consider the last major hurdle in finalizing the deal. Sources indicate Trump has conveyed his concerns to those involved in mediating the negotiations.
A proposal to establish a special fund for Iran’s frozen assets is under consideration, potentially providing a framework for resolving the financial aspects of the agreement. US media previously reported that President Trump would not sign any accord allowing direct US funding to Iran.
