๐ BREAKING: Reports Claim US-Iran Peace Framework Includes Release of $12 Billion in Frozen Iranian Assets
According to reports citing Iran's Mehr News Agency, the United States is set to release $12 billion in frozen Iranian assets as part of a wider 14-point memorandum of understanding linked to a reported peace framework between Washington and Tehran.
The reported document, which has not yet been officially confirmed by all parties, outlines the gradual unfreezing of $24 billion in Iranian funds over a 60-day negotiation period, with half reportedly being released before talks formally begin.
The development comes amid claims of a broader diplomatic breakthrough following months of tensions and conflict in the Middle East.
According to statements from Pakistan, which reportedly played a mediation role, both sides have agreed to an "immediate and permanent" cessation of military operations across multiple fronts, including Lebanon.
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif stated that an agreement has been reached and said a formal signing ceremony is expected to take place in Switzerland on June 19.
If confirmed, the agreement could represent one of the most significant diplomatic developments in the region in recent years, potentially impacting global energy markets, regional stability, sanctions policy, and international relations.
However, important details remain unclear, and official confirmations from all parties involved are still awaited.
For now, the world is watching closely.
