Tensions over $24 billion, Tehran hints at harsh consequences
Iran has said it will first have to return $24 billion in frozen assets to make a permanent deal with the United States. According to Iran's top military adviser, Mohsen Rezaei, returning the money could lead to new progress in relations between the two countries. However, he warned that if the deal fails or there are new attacks, the conflict could escalate and spread across the wider Middle East. Now the decision largely depends on the United States and President Trump.
