Tehran / Washington — Iran will only sign a peace agreement with the United States if its $24 billion in frozen assets are released, The Telegraph has reported, citing sources familiar with the negotiations.
Tehran has laid down the demand as a non-negotiable precondition, refusing to enter into any formal agreement without the prior unfreezing of the funds, which have been blocked under longstanding international sanctions.
The development comes amid ongoing indirect talks between Washington and Tehran, with significant gaps remaining between the two sides on core issues. Analysts say the asset demand could further complicate efforts to reach a diplomatic breakthrough.
