"Iran insists, at a minimum, that 50% of the frozen assets be released to Tehran immediately after the memorandum of understanding is signed, with the remaining portion to follow within a reasonable timeframe," Gharibabadi was quoted as saying by the Mehr news agency. On February 28, the United States and Israel launched strikes on targets in Iran, including in Tehran, causing damage and civilian casualties. Iran responded by striking Israeli territory and US military facilities in the Middle East. On April 7, Washington and Tehran announced a ceasefire. Subsequent talks held in Islamabad ended without a breakthrough.

Iran Urges US to Unfreeze 50% of Assets Immediately After Memorandum - Foreign Ministry
TEHRAN (Sputnik) - Iran is demanding that the United States unfreeze at least 50% of its foreign assets immediately following the signing of a memorandum of understanding, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said on Thursday.
"Iran insists, at a minimum, that 50% of the frozen assets be released to Tehran immediately after the memorandum of understanding is signed, with the remaining portion to follow within a reasonable timeframe," Gharibabadi was quoted as saying by the Mehr news agency.
In May, the Tasnim news agency reported, citing a source close to Iran’s negotiating team, that Tehran, in its 14-point settlement proposal, had called on Washington to unfreeze $24 billion in foreign assets: half at the initial stage — upon reaching a memorandum to resolve the conflict — and the remainder at a later stage following negotiations on the nuclear issue. The agency reported progress on the first tranche of the funds.
On February 28, the United States and Israel launched strikes on targets in Iran, including in Tehran, causing damage and civilian casualties. Iran responded by striking Israeli territory and US military facilities in the Middle East. On April 7, Washington and Tehran announced a ceasefire. Subsequent talks held in Islamabad ended without a breakthrough.
