An informed source told Tasnim that while the American side has agreed to release Iran's frozen assets, the Iranian delegation is actively seeking guarantees to ensure the reliability of such commitment.

Speaking to Tasnim’s correspondent in Islamabad on Saturday, the informed Iranian source said that, as a result of pressure and negotiations, the American side has agreed to release Iran's frozen assets and has announced that it has brought a team to Islamabad for consultations in financial areas so that both sides can reach a consensus on this matter.

However, given the history of broken promises and previous failures of the US to transfer Iran's frozen assets, the Iranian side is seeking ways to ensure the seriousness of the US in this regard, the source added.

Following the assassination of late Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei and several military commanders on February 28, the US and Israel launched an extensive military offensive against Iran. In response, the Iranian Armed Forces carried out attacks on American and Israeli positions in the region and the occupied territories, showcasing their capability to retaliate effectively. Contrary to the aggressors' expectations of a quick victory, Iran's powerful counterattacks for 40 days inflicted significant damage on US and Israeli military assets.

In an effort to de-escalate the situation, Pakistani mediation led to a two-week ceasefire agreement on April 8 that allows for negotiations in Islamabad. Iran has laid out a ten-point plan for the talks, which includes demands for the withdrawal of US forces, the lifting of sanctions, and control over the strategic Strait of Hormuz. The Iranian government maintains a stance of distrust towards the US, asserting that the negotiations are not meant to resolve the conflict but rather to shift the battleground into the diplomatic arena.
