Bessent's words are quite straightforward: if there's no concession on the nuclear issue, don't expect assets to be unfrozen; there's nothing on the negotiation table right now.

CryptoWorld News reports that Bessent stated that relaxing sanctions on Iran will depend on Iran's concessions on nuclear issues. He pointed out that whether the U.S. lifts some sanctions or unfreezes assets will depend on whether Iran meets the core conditions set forth by the Trump administration. He emphasized that U.S.-Iran negotiations are a "multi-layered agreement," and "nothing will truly be on the table" until Iran makes clear commitments. Bessent also mentioned that any easing of sanctions will correspond to Iran's concessions on nuclear issues, including whether to transfer highly enriched uranium. Additionally, he did not directly respond to whether the U.S. will unfreeze funds or provide cash support to Iran, and stated that the Trump administration continues to strengthen restrictions on Iran's aviation system, emphasizing that Iranian airlines "have become illegal entities," and the U.S. will not allow them to operate normally.
