A proposed mechanism to release part of Iran’s frozen funds remains a key obstacle in the final stages of a potential agreement between Tehran and Washington, a source familiar with the matter told Al Arabiya on Thursday.
– According to the source, discussions are continuing over how part of the frozen Iranian funds would be handled, adding that the agreement is in its final stages.
– The source also said that US President Donald Trump has informed mediators that he refuses to release any funds to Iran before the agreement is signed.
– One proposal currently under discussion would see a special fund established to deposit the frozen Iranian assets, the source added.
