Iran Press/ America: The US news outlet said on Wednesday that the talks “have made progress”, but it remains unclear whether an agreement can be reached soon.
The possible deal would see Tehran free American detainees in its custody as part of the prisoner exchange. Washington would also allow the release of billions of dollars of Iranian funds frozen by South Korea under US sanctions, according to the sources.
Asked to comment on the report, US State Department Spokesman Ned Price told reporters he was “not able to get into the details of what it is that may be underway” stressing that discussions with allies and partners were “sensitive”.
On Monday, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanaani reiterated that Iran is ready to exchange prisoners without any precondition and regardless of other issues that exist between the two countries.
