Iran's president says $6B in frozen assets in Qatar to be released

Iran's president announced that $6 billion in frozen assets will be released by Qatar amid escalating tensions with the U.S. This comes as Iran conducted missile attacks against Bahrain and Kuwait in response to new U.S. airstrikes. The attacks threaten to derail ongoing negotiations aimed at ending the conflict. President Masoud Pezeshkian referred to the asset release as "a great victory for the Iranian people," although U.S. officials have stated that no assets have been transferred yet. Confusion over the timing of the next round of U.S.-Iran talks continues, with conflicting reports from negotiators.
