Iran Official Says Trump Agreed to Unfreeze USD24B in Assets

(MENAFN) A senior Iranian official claimed Friday that US President Donald Trump has effectively agreed to release $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets, even while stopping short of explicitly acknowledging it, according to an Iranian news agency.

Mohsen Rezaei, a senior adviser to Iran's supreme leader, made the remarks at a memorial ceremony in the southwestern city of Dezful. He claimed that Iran's recent conflict had elevated the country's international stature and that its deterrence capability had grown to the point where "Trump the gambler" now hesitates to confront Tehran at the negotiating table. He further argued that US policy is increasingly driven by Israeli influence, asserting that Washington had effectively become a colony of the "Zionist regime" through lobbying in its decision-making circles.

His comments followed Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi saying the same day that a proposed memorandum of understanding with the US would bring hostilities to a formal close across all fronts — including Lebanon — and open the path to negotiations on sanctions relief.

Separately, a senior Trump administration official said Washington anticipates signing a war-ending agreement with Iran "within the next few days," with the pact expected to include provisions for dismantling Iran's nuclear program.
