The revelation comes as American and Iranian negotiators prepare for another round of indirect talks in Qatar aimed at preventing tensions from escalating after months of conflict across the Middle East. 'Nothing Is Given For Free'A senior US administration official said the frozen funds remain locked and will only be released if Iran fulfils key commitments contained in the agreement. "No frozen funds have been released, and no frozen funds will be released unless Iran meets the requirements outlined in the MOU," the official said. According to US officials, Iran had initially demanded immediate access to the money once the agreement was signed. Washington rejected that proposal, instead insisting that any financial relief would be tied to measurable progress. Rather than receiving the funds in a single payment, Iran would only gain access through carefully controlled instalments, with payments made directly to approved humanitarian suppliers rather than to the Iranian government itself. Qatar Talks ResumeThe announcement came as US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and adviser Jared Kushner arrived in Doha ahead of fresh negotiations. Iran has publicly denied that direct peace talks are taking place, although both sides are expected to hold separate meetings with Qatari mediators. Vice President JD Vance dismissed Tehran's public denials as a negotiating tactic. "They say there aren't peace talks, only technical talks about the peace deal," Vance said. "It's a negotiating style that I don't fully understand." While the meetings remain indirect, both governments are continuing discussions over implementation of the memorandum signed earlier this month. Benchmarks Before CashUS officials say Iran must first satisfy several major conditions before any sanctions relief begins. These include fully reopening the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping, ending charges imposed on commercial vessels and meeting additional security commitments contained within the agreement. Only after those benchmarks are achieved would Iran receive limited access to frozen assets for approved humanitarian purchases, including food, medicine and other civilian goods. Officials stressed that no unrestricted cash payments are being considered. Economic Pressure BuildsWashington believes Iran's struggling economy has become one of its strongest bargaining tools. Years of sanctions, conflict and economic mismanagement have left the country facing soaring inflation, food shortages and mounting public frustration. American officials argue that Tehran's leadership understands it must deliver economic relief if it hopes to maintain domestic stability. "The Iranian people deserve peace and security," one administration official said. "Their economy is in freefall, and the regime knows it must meet its commitments if it wants access to humanitarian relief." As negotiators return to Qatar, the $6 billion remains frozen &#x2014; with Washington making clear that every dollar now depends on Iran delivering concrete action rather than promises.

It's not about WW1 or 2, or Asian Opium wars or African genocides. It's just about American Presidents. We don't want to go back to wars against indigenous people in America, slaughtering or put them into slavery, ordered by your President, do we?  My point, and that's what you don't understand is, that in civilized EU countries the parliament will have the last decision about peace and war.
