WNAM REPORT: The visit by Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf to Qatar, accompanied by the foreign minister and the Central Bank of Iran (CBI) governor, was aimed at securing the release of part of Iran’s frozen assets.
Iran insists that part of its blocked funds must be released as part of the process. Tehran distrusts the Americans and seeks to obtain tangible results and benefits through this mechanism.
The issue is considered to be so important that Ghalibaf, acting as head of the Iranian negotiating team, traveled to Doha to pursue the matter in person in talks with the Emir of Qatar.
An informed source told Tasnim news agency that progress has been achieved during the visit and that forward steps have been taken.
