US Seizure of Iranian Assets – Study Results Presented to President: Spokesman

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hossein Jaberi Ansari announced that the results of legal investigations into the issue of Iranian assets confiscated by the US have already been presented to President Hassan Rouhani and will be raised in a Supreme National Security Council session due to be held later on Monday May 9.

According to a report by IRNA and translated by IFP, Jaberi Ansari said that a committee – earlier formed by Presidential order to study the seizure of nearly $2bn of Iranian frozen assets based on a US court ruling – had studied the legal aspects of the issue and presented the report to Rouhani.

“After the SNSC session, the results of the committee’s investigations and the measures taken so far in this regard will be reported in a statement,” he added in his weekly press conference on Monday.
