In particular, $7 billion assets of Iran's frozen assets will be released from South Korea and more than $10 billion from Iraq. In addition, Tehran will gain access to $6,7 billion of its special drawing rights in the IMF as a result of the recent talks between Governor of the Central Bank of Iran Mohammad Reza Farzin and IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva in Washington, the report said. Earlier in June, 2 billion dollars were also allocated from Iran's blocked funds for the purchase of basic goods, Ali Shariati, a member of the Iranian Chamber of Commerce, said. Iran has been under US sanctions for several years because of the development of its nuclear program. The sanctions restrict oil exports from Iran and block accounts of the Iranian authorities, as well as high-ranking officials and legal entities.
