US agrees to release Iran's frozen assets as precondition ahead of Islamabad talks: Report
The US has reportedly agreed to release frozen Iranian assets in Qatar and foreign banks as a precondition ahead of the Islamabad talks.
Reuters quoted a senior Iranian source as saying that the US had agreed to release Iranian frozen assets held in Qatar and other foreign banks, and welcomed the move as a sign of “seriousness” in reaching a deal with Washington during talks in Islamabad.
The United States has not made any public comments on the issue of unfreezing assets.
Reuters further quoted the unnamed source as saying that unfreezing the assets was “directly linked to ensuring safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz,” which is expected to be a key issue in the talks.
Also, according to a correspondent from IRIB, US officials have agreed to Iran’s request to unfreeze its blocked assets.
Media outlets close to the American delegation are also confirming the development, the correspondent said.
However, no official or fully verified confirmation has yet been released regarding the unfreezing of Iran’s assets.

Based on the statement by Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, the US has been forced to accept the 10-point plan of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in which America is principally committed to non-aggression, the continuation of Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz, acceptance of enrichment, the lifting of all primary and secondary sanctions, the termination of all UN Security Council and IAEA Board of Governors resolutions, compensation for Iran’s damages, the withdrawal of American combat forces from the region, and the cessation of war on all fronts, including against the heroic Islamic Resistance of Lebanon.
Earlier, Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf said two of the actions agreed upon by the parties have not yet been realized: a ceasefire in Lebanon and the release of Iran’s blocked assets before the start of negotiations.
A high-ranking Iranian delegation arrives in the Pakistani capital for talks with the United States, amid the Islamic Republic's warnings that failure to meet Tehran's preconditions would prompt the process to fail.
Headed by Qalibaf, the delegation, featuring security, political, military, economic, and legal committees, reached Islamabad on Friday.
Journalists in Islamabad remain on standby, watching closely behind closed doors as it becomes clearer whether negotiations between Tehran and Washington will finally take place.
Currently, the Iranian delegation is holding meetings with Pakistan’s Prime Minister and Speaker of Parliament.
These discussions are expected to help determine the framework and details of any future Iran–US talks.
