The United Arab Emirates denied allegations that it transferred $3 billion in frozen Iranian funds or facilitated any release of such funds. The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs urged media organizations to rely only on official sources and ensure accuracy in reporting. Reuters quoted four unnamed sources as saying the UAE agreed to unlock billions of dollars in frozen Iranian funds. Two regional sources cited by Reuters claimed the UAE agreed to release $10 billion in frozen Iranian funds, with more than $3 billion already delivered. Two other sources cited by Reuters said the total funds involved in the arrangement were $20 billion. The UAE experienced no Iranian attacks recently, while Kuwait and Bahrain did. Diplomats say broader negotiations between Tehran and Washington on ending the war could involve the release of tens of billions of dollars in Iranian oil revenues frozen in foreign banks under U.S. sanctions.
