DID Press: A non-official draft of the so-called “Islamabad Understanding Framework” suggests that one of the central points in recent talks between Iran and the United States involves the unfreezing of Iranian financial assets, according to Iranian state media.
Based on the leaked document cited by Iran’s state broadcaster, the United States has reportedly committed to enabling Iran’s access to approximately $12 billion in frozen funds within a 60-day period.
The document states that the released funds would be fully transferable and usable without restrictions in designated Iranian banking channels, marking a potentially significant shift in long-standing financial restrictions tied to sanctions and banking limitations.
Analysts say the proposed mechanism, if implemented, could ease some of the financial pressure created by asset freezes, though they caution that the details remain unconfirmed and subject to official validation by both sides.
The report has sparked widespread political and media reactions, with observers viewing it as a possible signal of movement toward limited financial normalization between the two countries, pending formal confirmation.
