24 billion unlock divided into two steps, Qatar has become a transit hub, a classic move in geopolitical games

CryptoWorld News reports, citing Iran’s Tasnim News Agency, that Iran is negotiating with the United States to unfreeze its $24 billion in frozen funds. Iran insists that half of the funds must be usable immediately when the agreement is announced, and the remaining portion must be transferred within 60 days. Insiders say that Iran’s parliamentary speaker, Kalibaf, is visiting Qatar in order to reach an understanding on how to obtain the first $12 billion, while also avoiding the problems encountered in previous agreements. The insiders said that the talks in Doha were “overall good,” and helped advance broader negotiations with the United States, but at the same time warned that Iran still regards the United States as an “untrustworthy party.”
