UAE agrees to release billions of dollars in frozen Iranian funds in exchange for halt to attacks.
The United Arab Emirates has agreed to unlock between $10 billion and $20 billion for Iran, with an initial tranche of approximately $3 billion already delivered, according to sources speaking to Reuters. The arrangement, reached after weeks of Iranian attacks on the UAE during the broader US-Iran conflict, is intended to secure a halt to Iranian missile and drone strikes on the Gulf state. The UAE Foreign Ministry has denied the report, calling it "entirely false and unfounded."
