Iran's top negotiators have demanded the release of $24 billion in frozen assets to end ongoing hostilities with the United States, following President Donald Trump's recent airstrikes on Iranian military sites. During discussions in Qatar, Iranian officials stated that they want at least half of the funds available immediately upon signing a memorandum of understanding, with the remainder to be transferred within two months. In retaliation to the US strikes, Iran claimed to have shot down a US MQ-9 drone and forced an F-35 stealth fighter to withdraw from Iranian airspace. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps warned that any US military violations of the ceasefire would be met with decisive retaliation. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has suggested that a deal is still feasible, provided Iran agrees to halt its nuclear weapons program. The situation remains tense, particularly in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for global oil transport, where US diplomats are urging Iran to cease threats against US-backed oil tankers.
