Ali Bagheri Kani, Iran's deputy secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, said the United States has done nothing to release frozen Iranian assets and has violated its commitments, according to his remarks. The statement adds to the ongoing dispute over the $6 billion in frozen funds.
Iranian Deputy Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council Ali Bagheri Kani accused the United States of violating its commitments regarding the release of frozen Iranian assets, according to remarks attributed to him. "The Americans did nothing regarding the release of Iran's frozen assets, and they violated their commitments," he said.
The accusation comes amid a longstanding dispute over approximately $6 billion in Iranian funds frozen overseas. As The Zioneer has reported, Bagheri previously made similar claims while serving as acting foreign minister, accusing both the US and Israel of failing to honor commitments. The United States has consistently denied that any funds have been released, with Vice President JD Vance stating in June that not a single dollar has been freed and no sanctions relief granted.
The status of the frozen assets remains a key point of contention in US-Iran relations, with Tehran seeking access to the funds and Washington insisting on a performance-based approach.
