The White House has firmly rejected recent claims that the United States has agreed to unfreeze Iranian assets held in foreign banks. A senior U.S. official dismissed the reports, stating that no such decision has been made.
Earlier, Reuters had cited an Iranian source suggesting that Washington was willing to release funds frozen in banks in countries such as Qatar and elsewhere. The report quickly gained attention, as it hinted at a possible shift in U.S. policy toward Iran.
However, U.S. officials moved to clarify the situation and pushed back against the narrative. They emphasized that discussions around Iranian assets remain sensitive and complex, often tied to broader geopolitical issues, including nuclear negotiations and regional security concerns.
The denial highlights ongoing tensions between the two countries, as well as the uncertainty surrounding any financial or diplomatic concessions. Analysts believe that while backchannel talks may continue, any formal agreement involving frozen Iranian funds would require clear political consensus and transparency from both sides.
