Iran Demands Release of $24 Billion in Frozen Assets to Break US Peace Deadlock

Mohsen Rezaei, a top military adviser to Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, stated that a potential peace agreement with the US depends entirely on US President Donald Trump releasing $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets. Speaking to CNN, Rezaei declared that negotiations are at a deadlock and framed the financial demand as a critical “test of trust” for the Trump administration.
