Qatar reportedly offers Iran $12 billion financial package amid frozen funds talks

Qatar has reportedly proposed a $12 billion financial package to Iran in an effort to break the deadlock in negotiations over $24 billion in Iranian assets frozen in Qatari banks.

According to Iran’s Mehr News Agency, the proposal includes the release of $6 billion in frozen Iranian funds held in Qatar, while an additional $6 billion would be provided in the form of a loan or credit line.

Under the reported arrangement, the released $6 billion would remain subject to previously agreed restrictions and could only be used for humanitarian purposes, in line with a 2023 understanding between Iran and the United States.

The remaining $6 billion credit line, however, would reportedly be available for broader use by Iran without similar restrictions.

The proposal comes as discussions over the frozen Iranian assets have reportedly stalled, with Qatar attempting to act as a mediator in ongoing financial and diplomatic negotiations involving Tehran and Washington.

The reports have not yet been independently confirmed by official government sources.
