UAE reportedly agrees to unlock billions for Iran amid deal talks, but denies claims
Regional sources claim the UAE has agreed to release $10-20 billion for Iran, with over $3 billion already delivered, as a tactical shift amid U.S.-Iran deal negotiations and a halt to Iranian attacks on the UAE. This move coincides with final-stage talks between Tehran and Washington to end the war and potentially release tens of billions in frozen Iranian oil revenues. However, the UAE Foreign Ministry categorically denied these reports, calling them "entirely false and unfounded." U.S. Vice-President J.D. Vance also stated that funds would not be released to Iran for signing a deal, emphasizing that economic benefits would be contingent on Iran meeting its obligations.
