Iran will continue diplomatic efforts to fully restore its rights: FM Amir-Abdollahian
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian says Tehran will continue its diplomatic efforts to achieve a final result and fully restore its rights.
Amir-Abdollahian made the remark in a Saturday post on Twitter, which has recently been rebranded as X, following the emergence of a deal that would see the United States and Iran engage in a prisoner swap in exchange for Tehran's access to its $6 billion worth of funds that have been illegally frozen in South Korea under the pretext of being subject to US sanctions.
Amir-Abdollahian said concurrent with its efforts to nullify the illegal sanctions imposed on the country, Iran has never stepped away from the path of negotiation and diplomacy.
The Iranian minister said the administration of President Ebrahim Raeisi has focused on dynamic diplomacy to obtain maximum national interests and restore the rights of the noble Iranian people since it took office in August 2021.
In a statement on Thursday, the Iranian Foreign Ministry announced the start of a process to unblock $6 billion worth of the country’s assets that were frozen in South Korea, emphasizing, "Iran has received the necessary guarantee for the United States' commitment to its obligations in this regard."
In addition to unfreezing the funds, the ministry added, the release of those Iranian prisoners who had been arrested and held in American jails illegally and under the vain pretext of their bypassing of the US's oppressive sanctions will be realized soon.
The Islamic Republic insists that it will have full access to its funds illegally blocked in South Korea when they are released, dismissing certain claims in this regard.
