Iranian media outlets report a potential agreement with the United States that would include the release of $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets, a halt to hostilities in the region — including in Lebanon — and the opening of 60-day negotiations on a nuclear deal. The reports, attributed to Iranian sources, have not been independently verified.
Iranian media outlets reported on Thursday that a potential agreement with the United States would unfreeze $24 billion in Iranian assets held abroad, end hostilities — including the fighting in Lebanon — and launch a 60-day negotiation window for a comprehensive nuclear deal, according to a statement attributed to unnamed Iranian sources. The report, carried by multiple Iranian outlets, marks the first time that a specific figure of $24 billion for frozen funds has been cited by Tehran-aligned media in the context of a possible framework with Washington.
The Zioneer previously reported that a dispute over $25 billion in frozen funds was a sticking point in the talks, with Tehran demanding immediate access and Washington conditioning release on continued compliance (Jun 9, 23:57). An earlier MOU draft reportedly included a 60-day ceasefire, oil sanctions relief, and Lebanon-related provisions, though Jerusalem did not confirm that report (09:29 Jerusalem). Recent coverage has also tracked Iran hardening its position on immediate fund release (Jun 8, 23:30) and reports that domestic uranium dilution and Lebanon ceasefire timing were part of negotiations (11:16 Jerusalem).
The new report provides the most specific figure and package structure yet from Iranian sources, but remains a single-source account from state-aligned media with no independent corroboration. It does not clarify whether the $24 billion figure reflects a revised amount or a rounding of the earlier-reported $25 billion, nor does it specify the mechanism for asset release. No official confirmation from the US or Iran has been issued. The 60-day negotiation period aligns with previously reported deadlines set by President Trump.
