Xinhua News Agency, Tehran, May 26th - According to a report from the Iran Fars News Agency on the 26th, a source close to the Iranian negotiation team said that one of the main differences in the Iran-US negotiations is the issue of unfreezing Iranian overseas funds. The source said that the United States had "backtracked" on fulfilling its commitments at one point, but Iran insisted that "no agreement is possible until the agreed funds are received." The report stated that some progress had been made on the issue after coordination with Qatar. However, due to the history of the United States "violating commitments," Iran "is prepared for all possible scenarios."
