Exclusive-Iranian Source Says US Has Agreed to Release Frozen Iranian Assets in Qatar, Other Banks

DUBAI, ⁠April ⁠11 (Reuters) – A ⁠senior Iranian source said ​on Saturday the U.S. ‌had agreed to ‌release Iranian ⁠frozen ⁠assets that were held in Qatar and ​other foreign banks, welcoming the move as a ​sign of “seriousness” in reaching a ⁠deal ⁠with Washington ⁠in talks ​in Islamabad.
