While Iran has argued the funds should be delivered in a lump sum, the US intends to make small, incremental payouts — directly to vendors — as Iran progresses in key negotiation areas such as opening the Strait of Hormuz and making nuclear concessions.
“So far, no funds have been transferred,” Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed Al Ansari said Tuesday.
It came a day ahead of an Iranian delegation’s planned trip to Doha, where Iranian sources say Tehran intends to hammer out how to access the frozen funds.
Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are also in Qatar, but will not meet directly with the Iranian team.
