Iran has firmly stated that the release of its frozen assets is a critical issue in negotiations with the United States, as articulated by Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmail Baghaei. He characterized US claims about confiscating these assets as 'propaganda pressure' and emphasized that Iran will pursue this demand vigorously. Baghaei also noted that ongoing communication continues despite rising tensions in the region, aided by the recent visit of Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, who is involved in mediation efforts. Meanwhile, military tensions have escalated significantly, with exchanges of fire between Israel and Iran marking the 100th day of conflict. This situation has led to fears of reigniting a broader regional war, complicating diplomatic efforts for a nuclear agreement. The Iran-backed Houthis have also declared a ban on Israeli shipping in the Red Sea, further complicating maritime security in the region. The recent military actions threaten to derail US President Donald Trump's attempts to negotiate a lasting resolution.
