Iran’s president says $6B in frozen assets in Qatar to be released as US talks challenged
Pezeshkian said the transfer would cover half of Iran’s $12 billion in Qatari assets as talks with Washington face fresh military tensions.
- On Monday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian announced that Qatar will release $6 billion in frozen Iranian assets, calling the interim deal a great victory for the Iranian people.

- Iran threatened a "complete halt" in negotiations if Washington continues airstrikes, though technical teams are scheduled to meet in Doha in the coming days.
- Pakistan, serving as a key mediator, stated that talks will resume Tuesday between the United States and Iran on the interim deal's terms.
