Part of the Iran–U.S. agreement requires the immediate payment of $12 billion to Tehran from its frozen foreign assets. Only under this condition will the Islamic Republic participate in further dialogue. This was reported by the Fars news agency, citing sources.

“The most important part of the agreement, which (U.S. President Donald) Trump did not mention, is the condition for the immediate payment of $12 billion from Iran’s frozen assets. According to the agreement, this amount must be paid immediately, and until this payment is made, Iran will not participate in further negotiations,” the source said.

Earlier, Trump stated that he intends to make a final decision on approving the preliminary agreement with Iran during a meeting with aides on Friday. He said that most of the points of the agreement with Iran had already been agreed upon.
