Iran's president said $6 billion out of $12 billion in Iranian assets held in Qatar should be released, state news agency IRNA reported. The statement covers funds that have been held under sanctions-related restrictions. No timeline for any release was provided in the report.
Background on the Assets The assets originated from earlier oil sales and financial arrangements conducted before tighter sanctions took effect. Qatar has served as a location for some of these holdings due to prior banking relationships. Release of any portion would require approvals under current U.S. sanctions rules that govern movement of Iranian funds.
Officials have not indicated whether discussions with Qatari authorities are underway.
