Iranian media: Iran insists it can immediately access half of the frozen funds at the outset of the agreement's announcement.

According to a report by Iran's Tasnim News Agency, citing sources close to the negotiating team, Iran is negotiating with the United States under a proposed 14-point memorandum of understanding, demanding the unfreezing of $24 billion in frozen funds. Iran insists that half of these funds must be available upon the announcement of the agreement, with the remainder transferred within 60 days. The source stated that Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf's visit to Qatar was to reach a consensus on how Iran would obtain the first tranche of $12 billion and remove obstacles to the transfer, while avoiding the problems encountered in previous agreements involving Iranian funds in South Korea and Qatar. The source told Tasnim that the talks in Doha were "generally good" and promoted progress in broader negotiations with the United States, but cautioned that Iran still views the United States as an "untrustworthy party."
