Which was actually Iranian assets frozen due to sanctions to get Iran to agree to the 2015 agreement limiting their nuclear program and providing for inspections. That agreement was between the US, Iran, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, and China.

That was the agreement Trump tore up. And here we are, the worse for it.
