The Wall Street Journal has emphasized in a report that there will be an immediate windfall for Tehran of between $30 billion and $50 billion from access to frozen offshore accounts.
This, the Journal said, is based on comments made to reporters by White House sources.
It had earlier said Iran has between $100 billion and $140 billion of its oil revenue frozen in offshore accounts as a result of sanctions.
The Journal had further quoted US officials as saying that they expect Tehran to gain access to these funds in phases as part of a final deal.
