Frozen Iranian funds a gap in US-Iran talks - Axios

A gap in negotiations between the United States and Iran in Islamabad centered on the amount of Iranian frozen funds to be released, Axios reported, citing a source with knowledge of the talks.

The report, citing a US official, said Washington set sweeping red lines, including ending all uranium enrichment, dismantling all major nuclear enrichment facilities, which are mostly destroyed, and retrieving highly enriched uranium.

The United States also called on Tehran to accept a broader peace, security and de-escalation framework that includes regional allies, end funding for Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis, and fully open the Strait of Hormuz without charging tolls, according to Axios.
