DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) \u2014 Iran\u2019s president said Monday that $6 billion in frozen Iranian assets would be released by Qatar, as negotiations with the United States were challenged by attacks across the Persian Gulf this weekend.<\/p>\n

Masoud Pezeshkian\u2019s mention of the funds appear aimed at selling the Iranian public on the interim deal, particularly as its grip on the Strait of Hormuz has been tested by efforts to open Oman\u2019s territorial waters to both inbound and outbound traffic from the Persian Gulf. Iran\u2019s attacks and threats stopped cargo ships and tankers from moving through the strait, in which about a fifth of all traded oil and natural gas passed in peacetime, creating a global energy crisis.<\/p>\n

The strait has long been considered an international waterway despite its location in Iran and Oman\u2019s territorial waters. In recent days, Iran has twice attacked vessels going through a route near the Omani side, drawing retaliatory American airstrikes and concerns that negotiations to reach a formal end to the war could be disrupted. Iran launched drone and missile attacks targeting Bahrain and Kuwait on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Pezeshkian says $6 billion coming to Iran<\/h4>\n

Pezeshkian offered praise for the interim deal in comments published Monday by the state-run IRNA news agency, calling it \u201ca great victory for the Iranian people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBased on the plans made, $6 billion out of the total $12 billion of Iranian resources in Qatar will be released and returned to the country, and necessary follow-ups are being carried out,\u201d he said. He did not elaborate.<\/p>\n

Pezeshkian, a reformist within Iran\u2019s theocracy, is the highest-ranking official within Iran to reference the release of the funds held by Qatar, a key mediator along with Pakistan in the negotiations. So far, U.S. officials say no frozen Iranian assets have been released. Qatar as well as has not acknowledged any such transfer and Iran attacked a tanker filled with Qatari crude oil this weekend during the crossfire in the Persian Gulf.<\/p>\n

Confusion mounts over next round of Iran-US talks<\/h4>\n

Meanwhile Monday, confusion mounted about when the next round of talks between Iran and the U.S. would be held.<\/p>\n

Pakistan, a key mediator, has said talks would resume Tuesday. The Trump administration on Sunday said nothing has been canceled and technical talks are on track for the coming days.<\/p>\n

But Kazem Gharibabadi, a senior negotiator for Iran, denied any talks had been scheduled, in comments published by IRNA.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough consultations with Qatar, including on following up on the implementation of the other side\u2019s commitments, are continuing as usual, reports by some media about technical talks by the working groups being held in Doha are not confirmed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Technical talks involve lower-level diplomats working on the specifics of any deal that would draw top leaders from Iran and the U.S. back to the table.<\/p>\n
