Iran Claims Trump Agreed to Release $24 Billion in Frozen Assets

A senior Iranian official has asserted that U.S. President Donald Trump has agreed to unfreeze $24 billion in Iranian assets, though this has not been publicly confirmed by Washington. Mohsen Rezaei, a senior advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, made the claim during a memorial ceremony. He stated that recent conflicts have bolstered Iran's global standing and its deterrent capabilities, leading Trump, whom he described as a "gambler," to fear negotiations with Tehran. Rezaei further alleged that U.S. policy is increasingly shaped by Israel, suggesting the U.S. has become a "colony" of the Zionist regime due to lobbying within its decision-making circles. This statement follows remarks by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who indicated that a proposed memorandum of understanding with the U.S. could end conflicts and pave the way for sanctions relief. A senior Trump administration official, however, expressed optimism on Friday about finalizing a deal to end the war with Iran within days, which is also expected to address Iran's nuclear program.
