BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 15. No final agreement
reached in talks between Iran and the U.S. in Islamabad on the
release of Iranian assets frozen abroad, the spokesperson for the
Iranian Foreign Ministry, Esmail Baghaei, said at a press
conference in Tehran today, Trend reports.
According to him, the release of Iran's frozen assets abroad was
one of the topics of negotiations between the parties.
Baghaei said that in Iran's opinion, the release of the
country's assets is not considered an additional privilege because
this property is Iran's right. As in other issues, no final
agreement was reached on this issue.
The ministry official added that the participation of the
Chairman of the Central Bank of Iran, Abdulnasser Hemmati, in the
discussions was also for this reason. Thus, experts conducted
consultations during the discussion process and provided accurate
information to the discussion team.
Meanwhile, as no tangible progress was made in the nuclear
negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, the situation escalated on
February 28, when the United States and Israel launched military
airstrikes against Iran. In retaliation, Iran initiated missile and
drone strikes targeting Israeli and U.S. installations in the
region. Following these developments, a two-week ceasefire
agreement was brokered on April 7 through Pakistan's mediation.
However, during subsequent talks between the U.S. and Iran in
Islamabad on April 11, no consensus was reached.
