The United States has agreed to unfreeze Iran's frozen assets "held in Qatar and other foreign banks." This was reported by Reuters news agency, citing an Iranian official who noted that Tehran views this step as a gesture of goodwill and a sign of seriousness. The official stated that the release of assets "is directly linked to safe passage in the Strait of Hormuz" ahead of any possible agreement. He did not specify the value of the assets, but another source who spoke with the news agency claimed it amounts to $6 billion held in Qatar.
