"In lieu of cash, Qatar has agreed to provide $6 billion in credit to Tehran to purchase essential goods and products from Qatar."

A source familiar with the negotiations told Iran International that Qalibaf's trip to Qatar resulted in a diplomatic failure, and despite Tehran's request for the immediate and unconditional release of $12 billion in cash simultaneously with the signing of a preliminary memorandum of understanding with the U.S., Qatari officials rejected this request.

According to this source, Qatari officials only agreed to release half of this amount under strict conditions.

Based on statements from a source close to a Qatari official present in the discussions, Doha has refrained from transferring these funds directly or in cash to Iran. Instead, this money will only be made available to Tehran as credit to purchase essential goods and products directly from Qatar.

This limitation has been imposed at a time when the U.S. has strongly opposed granting the Islamic Republic direct and unrestricted access to cash assets. The U.S. has expressed concern that the direct injection of cash could create vital economic breathing space for Tehran, allowing it to pay overdue public sector salaries and procure military equipment from other countries during a period of severe regional tension.
