**April 11 (local time) —** Iranian sources report that two key conditions set by Iran for negotiations—unfreezing its frozen assets and a ceasefire in Lebanon—have not yet been met. Earlier, a senior Iranian official stated the U.S. has agreed to unfreeze Iran’s assets held in banks in Qatar and other countries. The U.S. has not issued a public response to the asset unfreezing issue. On April 10, Iranian Islamic Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said on social media that negotiations cannot begin until two conditions are fulfilled: a ceasefire in Lebanon and the unfreezing of Iran’s frozen assets. Additionally, the Iranian negotiation delegation met with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif before that day’s meeting, and later held another meeting with Pakistani Army Chief Asim Munir, possibly exchanging new information. Earlier, Iran noted that Munir had met with its delegation “last night.” (CCTV News)
