Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that $6 billion of frozen assets held in Qatar will be released, representing half of the $12 billion total Iranian resources in that country. U.S. officials have stated that no such assets have been released so far. The announcement follows Iranian drone and missile attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait after U.S. airstrikes, with conflicting statements from U.S. and Iranian officials on the status of negotiations.
