Iran (IMNA) - Speaking during a visit to Qom, where he met Grand Ayatollah Shobeiri Zanjani, Pezeshkian said the $6 billion is part of a total of $12 billion in Iranian funds held in Qatar. He added that follow-up efforts are underway to secure the return of the remaining funds. According to the president, the release of the assets and the lifting of sanctions were included in the framework agreed upon during the Switzerland talks and the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding.
Pezeshkian praised the resilience of the Iranian people during the war, saying that despite the assassination of the Leader, ministers, commanders, elites, and even schoolchildren, the nation, Armed Forces, and government remained united in defending the country. He said the United States and Israel had deployed all their capacities to destabilize Iran, believing that economic pressure would lead to the country's collapse, but the determination of the Iranian people and divine support prevented those plans from succeeding.
The president reiterated that Iran does not seek nuclear weapons, describing it as a position clearly stated by the martyred Leader that remains unchanged. He said Iran assures the international community that its nuclear activities will remain proportionate to the country's needs and within the framework of its declared policies.
Pezeshkian also said the United States ultimately compelled Israel to accept the agreement, although he added that Israel and some opposition groups continue to oppose its implementation. He noted that the government has begun planning reconstruction efforts and introduced support measures, including increased credit for food subsidies.
