The United States has agreed to release Iran’s frozen assets, but the Iranian delegation is seeking additional guarantees to ensure the reliability of this commitment, Tasnim reports.
It was noted that the United States agreed to this decision as a result of pressure and negotiations.
It was also reported that a group of experts has been sent to Islamabad to conduct financial consultations in order to reach a common ground between the parties. It was emphasized that Iran is working on mechanisms that will ensure the process is serious and reliable this time.

A senior Iranian source said on Saturday the U.S. had agreed to release Iranian frozen assets 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, Reuters reports.
The source, who declined to be named due to the sensitivity of the matter, told Reuters that unfreezing the assets was "directly linked to ensuring safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz", which is expected to be a key issue in the talks.
The senior source did not give a value for the assets that Washington had agreed to unfreeze. A second Iranian source said the United States had agreed to release $6 billion of frozen Iranian funds held by Qatar.
There was no immediate statement from the United States about any unfreezing of assets. Qatar's Foreign Ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
