👈 Al Jazeera correspondent: Tehran wants the release of $12 billion; however, not to buy U.S. goods 🔴 Omar Houwash, Al Jazeera’s correspondent in Tehran, reported that Ismail Baqayi, spokesperson of Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, confirmed that the agenda of the Iranian delegation led by Kazem Gharibabadi, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, is limited to “Iranian-Qatari” negotiations to settle frozen assets, and denied the existence of any channel for direct talks with the American delegation. 🔴 Tehran wants the immediate release of $12 billion in two stages within a 60-day deadline, starting with $6 billion deposited in Qatari banks. 🔴 Behind the scenes, a sharp disagreement became apparent, because Tehran rejects Washington’s conditions for establishing an exclusive credit line for the purchase of American agricultural goods (such as wheat, soybeans, and corn), while it remains committed to the absolute right of Iran’s Central Bank to determine its needs for goods and medicines without foreign interference ✅ War news
