As US-Iran talks gain momentum, Tehran’s frozen assets, estimated at over $100 billion, have emerged as a key sticking point. These funds, largely oil revenues and foreign reserves held abroad, remain inaccessible due to years of sanctions. Iran has repeatedly demanded full access, including during a 2023 prisoner swap deal when $6 billion was moved to Qatar but kept under strict limits. The roots of these restrictions trace back to 1979 and expanded over nuclear concerns. Spread across countries like China and others, these assets could provide a crucial economic lifeline, making them central to any potential diplomatic breakthrough.
