Iran’s ambassador to the UN in Geneva says Iran is the only country that controls its assets when they are unfrozen. In comments on Tuesday, Ali Bahreini rejects the idea that any other country has influence over Iran’s unfrozen funds, stating that Iran retains control over these assets. Bahreini’s remarks respond to claims by others suggesting they could affect or direct Iranian assets after any unfreezing arrangements. According to the accounts provided, the ambassador emphasizes that only Iran determines how its unfrozen assets are handled, and that other parties’ claims of control or leverage are “flatly” rejected. The reports do not specify which assets are being referenced or the broader negotiation or legal context around the unfreezing, focusing instead on Iran’s position that it will manage the funds independently once they are made available. The statement reflects Iran’s broader stance on sovereignty over its financial resources and counters any external assertions of control.
