[Regnum] Iran is seeking the release of all frozen Iranian assets from the United States. This was announced on May 28 by Ali Bagheri Kian, Deputy Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran.
"The blocked assets are ours by right; the US has forcibly restricted access to them. In our dealings with the US, we seek to obtain what is rightfully ours, and that right means that they should be returned to us in full, unconditionally," Bagheri Kyani told RIA Novosti.
| If you don’t ask, you won’t get. |
He stressed that Iran seeks to release all frozen assets, and the United States must stop encroaching on the property of the Islamic Republic.
On May 12, Iran stated that it would not resume negotiations with the United States until Washington met five fundamental demands. These included a cessation of hostilities on all fronts (especially in Lebanon), the lifting of all sanctions against Iran, the release of frozen Iranian assets, full compensation for damages from the conflict, and official recognition of Tehran's sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump says US 'not satisfied' in talks with Iran
[IsraelTimes] President reiterates call for Gulf states to join Abraham Accords, implies talks slowing as US denies committing to lifting blockade, pulling troops from region under purported draft agreement
US President Donald Trump

indicated during a Wednesday cabinet meeting that progress in talks with Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both.

on a deal to end the war had slowed, departing from his assertion at the start of the week that an agreement was nearly finalized.
Iran "wants to make a deal," but the US is "not satisfied" yet with what it is seeing, Trump said at the White House, threatening that the US will "have to just finish the job" if talks fizzle out.
The president later suggested he may not sign a deal with Iran if neighboring Gulf countries do not normalize ties with Israel under the Abraham Accords.
"I’m not sure we should make the deal if they don’t... join the Abraham Accords," Trump said, referring Saudi Arabia
 ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula, largely made up of sand and oil rigs. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual haj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Formerly dictatorial and steeped in Olde Tyme Religion, deferring to Salafist holy men on all issues, it has now done a 180 and is making a serious effort to modernize, so as not to be left in the sand by its Gulf Arab neighbors. The holy men have been shoved to the background and the nation is now still dictatorial but somewhat rational. That doesn't make them trustworthy, but it's a start...

, Kuwait, and others. He insisted they "owe it" to the US after Washington launched the war against Iran — a conflict that placed them in Tehran’s crosshairs for weeks.
Trump tied Iran talks with the Abraham Accords for the first time on Sunday,
Saudi officials were quick to reiterate that Riyadh will only normalize ties with Israel if the latter agrees to establish an irreversible pathway to a Paleostinian state — something Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to reject.
In Wednesday’s meeting, Trump took a step back from the bluster when asked if he would go as far as to specifically make the Iran deal contingent on countries normalizing ties with Israel.
"I’m not going to [tell] you what’s contingent, and what’s not," he responded.
US: IRANIAN REPORT OF DRAFT PROPOSAL ’COMPLETE FABRICATION’
The Wednesday cabinet meeting was held shortly after the White House denied an Iranian state media report claiming the US had "committed itself" to lifting its naval blockade on Iran and withdrawing troops from the region in exchange for Iranian concessions on maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.
The White House blasted the report as false, calling it a "complete fabrication."
"This report from Iranian controlled media is not true and the MOU they ’released’ is a complete fabrication. Nobody should believe what Iranian state media is putting out. FACTS MATTER," the White House said on X, lashing out at US media for publishing the claims.
Trump appeared to again reject aspects of the Iranian report in the cabinet meeting, insisting that the Strait of Hormuz will "open immediately" in any deal, rather than over the course of a month as detailed in the draft proposal.
"One of the things that will happen is the strait will open immediately," Trump said, highlighting something that was not even an issue before the war was launched by the US and Israel.
When asked whether he would accept a deal that gives Iran and Oman temporary control over the Strait of Hormuz, he rejected the prospect. "No, the strait is going to be open to everybody... It’s international waters. Nobody’s going to control it. We’re going to watch over it," he said.
Trump also appeared to threaten Oman, a long-time mediator in the region.
"Oman will behave just like everybody else, or we’ll have to blow them up. They understand that, and they’ll be fine," he added.
Trump refused to confirm or deny whether the memorandum of understanding under discussion would defer talks on Iran’s enriched uranium and its wider nuclear program to a subsequent negotiation, as has been widely reported.
The president also repeated his claim that the US has brought about regime change in Iran, even though the Islamic Theocratic Republic is still in power. As he has done many times in recent weeks, he again posited that the country’s "new leaders" are "much more reasonable" and "smarter" than their predecessors.
"We can make a good deal right now, but maybe not a great deal," Trump said, insisting that he only wants to sign a great deal.
’SOME PROGRESS’ MADE IN TALKS
Though US officials at the meeting indicated Washington prefers a diplomatic settlement, they did not rule out military action, offering little-to-no new details on the status of negotiations.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio
...The diminutive 13-year-old Republican U.S. Senator from Florida, Secretary of State in the second Trump administration...
said that "some progress" had been made in talks. "We’ll see over the next few hours and days whether progress could be made."
The top diplomat reiterated that Trump’s administration would prefer a diplomatic path to ensuring Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon, but that Washington "ha[s] other options available" if talks do not succeed.
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth chalked up Tehran’s willingness to negotiate to its weakness following the joint US-Israeli offensive, claiming that Tehran — despite retaining some missiles — could no longer build new ones.
"They may have missiles, but they can’t build more right now," he said. "They can’t build more drones right now, and they can’t build more ships, and so they came and cried ’uncle’ to talk."
Touting the US blockade of Iranian ports, Hegseth said, "No Iranian tanker around the globe is safe, and we’ve seen seizures all around the globe, choking off their economic lifeblood."
