Iran to have direct, full access to unfrozen assets: Analyst

Marandi made the remarks in reaction to some claims that Iran’s access to these assets will be limited.

He said that such claims are made by people who are unhappy with the release of Iranian assets.

Noting that the Qatari companies will have no role, he said that the Iranian banks will have full control and can use the unfrozen assets for buying goods and services without any restrictions.  

An Iranian foreign ministry statement has also stressed that Iran will determine how to use these assets and they will be consumed to meet different needs of the country as determined by the related authorities.

Mohammad Jamshidi, the Iranian president's deputy chief of staff for political affairs, have also said that the process of releasing Iran’s total assets in South Korea has begun after the release of the country’s assets in Iraq.

He noted that the US prisoners will remain in Iran until the full transfer of the money.
