Iran supreme leader’s adviser says talks deadlocked over $24 billion and warns of wider war: CNN
Mohsen Rezaei said Iran wants $24 billion in frozen assets released in stages as Washington and Tehran remain deadlocked over a new deal.
- On Friday, Mohsen Rezaei, military advisor to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, told CNN that US-Iran negotiations are deadlocked over $24 billion in frozen assets, with Tehran demanding $12 billion upon signing an interim agreement and $12 billion later.
- Rezaei framed the demand as a trust-building test for President Donald Trump, stating, "This is a test that America must pass, and the path will be opened," while US officials worry that releasing funds would eliminate a key leverage point.
- During the 40-day US-Israeli war that began in February, Iran retaliated by striking sites across 12 countries; Rezaei described the conflict as "the first time Iran has emerged victorious in wars," claiming the regime is prepared for potential invasion.
- Warning against returning to conflict, the military advisor claimed Iran could "drag the war" beyond the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea and Mediterranean, threatening to strike additional American bases if hostilities resume.
- Iran continues to claim joint sovereignty with Oman over the Strait of Hormuz and proposes a "maintenance fee" for passage; Rezaei dismissed prospects of a meeting between Trump and Khamenei, labeling the diplomatic path at a standstill.
