Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian announced on Monday that Iran is expected to receive $6 billion from Iranian assets frozen abroad without making any concessions on its nuclear program or any other issue.

According to Pezeshkian, the funds will be released from Iranian assets frozen in Qatar after the United States approved the unfreezing of the assets under a memorandum of understanding.

It remains unclear how the money will ultimately reach Iran. President Trump has repeatedly insisted that the funds are designated solely for humanitarian purposes and will be used to finance the purchase of grain, food, and other essential supplies for the Iranian people, with payments made directly rather than transferred to Tehran.

Whether the funds will, in practice, avoid being transferred directly to Iran is expected to become clear in the coming days.

Trump has previously been sharply critical of former President Barack Obama for transferring roughly $1 billion to Iran under the 2015 nuclear agreement.

The release of the $6 billion comes in addition to Iran being granted the right to freely sell oil and petrochemical products.
