What are Iran’s $100bn in frozen assets and where are they held? | US-Israel war on Iran News

Iran's frozen assets, estimated to be over $100 billion, are held by various countries including Japan, Iraq, China, India, the US, and EU nations. The funds were frozen due to decades-long sanctions imposed by the US and other nations, primarily stemming from Iran's nuclear program and its relationship with the US. Iran demands unfreezing these assets as a confidence-building measure in ongoing talks aimed at ending the war between the two countries. Unfreezing the assets would provide significant economic relief for Iran, allowing it to access oil revenue and rebuild its battered economy. The decision on whether to release the frozen assets remains a point of contention in negotiations between the US and Iran.
