Iran FM: Recent deal tests US
Iran’s foreign minister says a recent agreement with the United States that led to the release of Iran’s frozen assets is a new test to see whether Washington would honor its promises.
“The release and transfer of our country’s assets from South Korea is part of the realization of the honorable diplomacy emphasized by the Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution,” Hossein Amir-Abdollahian wrote in a post on his social media account, according to IRNA.
“Of course, this phase of the agreement is also a new test for America,” he said.
Amir-Abdollahian further stressed that the diplomatic efforts of the incumbent government to lift the sanctions and bring all sides to their international commitments towards Iran will continue.
Last Thursday, Iran’s Foreign Ministry announced that the process of releasing billions of dollars of Iran’s assets, which had been illegally blocked by the United States for several years, has begun.
