Saudi Report Claims Agreement to Release $3 Billion Frozen Iranian Funds

Saudi Al Hadath channel reported on Wednesday that a preliminary agreement has been reached to release $3 billion of Iran's frozen assets. This move is part of ongoing efforts to establish an economic relief mechanism for Iran amid negotiations with the United States. However, there has been no confirmation of this report from American, Iranian, or international sources so far.

The issue of frozen Iranian funds remains a major point of contention between Washington and Tehran. Previous reports from the U.S. indicated that the administration insists any release of funds must be gradual, closely monitored, and limited to humanitarian purposes rather than a free transfer to the Iranian regime.
