Iran’s top negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, has announced that an agreement has been reached with the United States to release $12 billion in frozen Iranian funds, marking a significant development in relations between the two countries.
The announcement follows a decision by the United States to temporarily ease sanctions, allowing the sale of Iranian oil and petrochemical products until August 21.
US President Donald Trump stated that Tehran has agreed to permit international inspections of its nuclear facilities. He added that any Iranian assets released under the agreement would be used to purchase American agricultural products.
Meanwhile, former Iranian negotiators have described the emerging US-Iran memorandum of understanding as a potential opportunity to end decades of hostility between the two nations.
