U.S. Denies Reports of Agreement to Unfreeze Iranian Assets

11/04/2026

WASHINGTON, April 11: The White House has denied reports that the United States agreed to unfreeze Iranian assets, contradicting earlier claims attributed to Iranian sources.

A U.S. official said on Saturday that no such agreement has been reached with Iran, rejecting a report by Reuters which cited a senior Iranian source claiming that Washington had approved the release of funds held in foreign banks.

The denial adds to uncertainty surrounding ongoing diplomatic efforts between the two countries, particularly as negotiations continue over broader issues including regional security and maritime access.

Officials have not provided further details, but the conflicting statements highlight the fragile and often opaque nature of the talks.
