Iran says blocked funds are part of an emerging deal related to the Hormuz dispute and associated economic issues, according to statements referenced by NDTV. The comments come as U.S. President Donald Trump posts on Truth Social that a deal is “scheduled to get signed” on Sunday. Throughout the conflict, Trump has repeatedly said the countries are close to reaching an agreement and has warned about potential “alternative” steps if an arrangement is not completed.
NDTV reports that Iran frames the release or inclusion of previously blocked funds as an element of the prospective terms, indicating ongoing negotiations rather than a final, publicly confirmed agreement. The reports do not provide detailed figures of the funds or a full text of the deal, and they do not specify what the “alternative” measures referenced by Trump would involve. With the signing date proposed by Trump for Sunday, both sides’ statements signal continued diplomatic movement, while key specifics remain pending or unelaborated in the available coverage.
