Iran is actively negotiating the phased release of $6 billion in frozen assets held in Qatar, intended for humanitarian purchases, according to a report circulating Wednesday night. The development comes amid a broader regional de-escalation framework that has seen multiple rounds of Qatari mediation, as previously reported by The Zioneer. Separately, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned the United States to curb Israeli military threats against Iran. The status of the frozen funds has been a recurring point in indirect US-Iran talks; earlier reports indicated Qatar proposed alternative timelines and a $12 billion package, though US officials have stated no funds are released until Tehran meets demands.
