Iran is reportedly demanding the release of $24 billion in frozen funds as part of ongoing negotiations with the United States over a potential memorandum of understanding (MoU), according to reports published by Iran’s semi-official Tasnim News Agency.

Citing a source close to the Iranian negotiation team, Tasnim reported that Tehran has insisted the blocked funds must be released during the current phase of discussions with Washington, with Iran seeking guaranteed financial access before any broader agreement is formally implemented.

According to the report, Iranian negotiators are demanding that at least half of the $24 billion amount be made accessible immediately upon announcement of the proposed memorandum of understanding between the two countries. (Facebook
