TEHRAN (Dispatches) – Tehran and Seoul have reached a consensus on mechanisms to unfreeze Iranian funds held in South Korea, Foreign Minister Muhammad Javad Zarif said Wednesday.
Zarif said despite the agreement, the Koreans "have apparently not obtained the necessary permissions so far” from the Americans, even though they pledged to do their utmost to have the funds released. Iran believes that a permission from the U.S. is not necessary, Zarif stated.
