As U.S. and Iranian negotiators met in Switzerland on Sunday, a regional analyst warned that a dispute over billions in potentially unfrozen Iranian assets could quickly test the durability of a fledgling interim agreement.

The disagreement is emerging, they say, as Washington and Tehran begin implementing the memorandum of understanding signed June 17, with negotiators holding the first round of talks at Bürgenstock, near Lucerne, Switzerland.

According to Iran International, President Masoud Pezeshkian had signaled Tehran’s expectations early Sunday, saying, «$6 billion of our funds in Qatar will be returned. Trump, who tried to deny Iran its rights, acknowledged them in his recent speech.»

The dispute traces back to discussions at the G7 summit in Évian-les-Bains, France, where world leaders debated the issue.

«We have taken their money, it isn’t our money, it is their money, and we froze it,» President Donald Trump said. «At a certain point in time, I guess we’re going to have to give it back.»

He also stressed that any access to the funds remains strictly conditional, writing on Truth Social that Iran would receive «not ten cents» during the 60-day negotiation period if it failed to uphold its commitments.

«There are effectively two competing narratives about the frozen funds,» Alex Vatanka, a senior fellow at the Middle East Institute, told Fox News Digital.

«Releasing frozen assets is not simply an economic question. It is one of the central political tests of trust between Tehran and Washington and will likely become one of the first major implementation disputes in the weeks ahead,» Vatanka added.

Paragraph 11 of the MOU framework states that the United States «undertakes to make fully available» restricted and frozen Iranian funds.

However, the agreement ties any release of funds to a step-by-step process based on compliance, rather than granting immediate, unrestricted access.

«First, there remains considerable uncertainty over the total amount of Iranian assets frozen abroad,» Vatanka said.

«Iranian officials often speak of more than $100 billion, while Western estimates range higher. The immediate negotiations, however, appear focused on securing access to roughly $24 billion to $25 billion as an initial tranche.»

Iran’s frozen assets are widely estimated at between $100 billion and $120 billion and held under sanctions and financial restrictions in countries including China, India, Iraq and South Korea, according to reporting by the Wall Street Journal.

Vatanka said the central dispute extends beyond the size of the payout.

«The real dispute is not simply about how much money Iran receives, but who ultimately controls how it is spent.»

«Iranian officials are emphasizing sovereignty over the funds, while the United States is trying to preserve leverage by attaching conditions to their use,» he added as talks got underway Sunday.

In a statement on X, Qatar’s Foreign Ministry said the talks are aimed at reaching a comprehensive and lasting agreement covering all elements of the framework.

Spokesman Majed bin Mohammed Al Ansari said technical teams were negotiating the final deal while oversight groups would monitor implementation and track progress.

The U.S. and Qatar are exploring a mechanism to channel an initial $6 billion toward humanitarian purchases, including food and medicine, according to reports.

However, Western intelligence officials remain concerned that unfrozen funds could be diverted to regional conflicts rather than domestic development projects.

Reuters reported that Iran has already signaled to Hezbollah that increased financial support could resume if Tehran’s cash flow improves.

«This issue also has an important regional dimension,» Vatanka said. «Iran has pledged to direct a portion of those reconstruction funds toward supporting its weakened proxy network in Lebanon.»

«The United States has insisted that Iran cannot use any unfrozen assets to fund terrorist organizations, warning that access to the funds would be revoked if Tehran violates the terms of the agreement,» he added.

Vatanka said the two sides also remain divided over the broader purpose of the agreement.

«Tehran is presenting the roughly $25 billion as money that will be released gradually and invested in rebuilding the country’s infrastructure, with officials talking about roads, airports, transport corridors and projects that visibly benefit ordinary Iranians.»

«Washington, however, appears to be describing something much narrower,» Vatanka added.

«U.S. officials have indicated they want the funds released through controlled mechanisms, primarily for humanitarian and other approved civilian purchases, rather than giving Tehran unrestricted access.»

Reporter’s Notebook: Why Fauci’s 111 Fifth Amendment pleas could end up before the courts

Published

on

Silence is golden.

But actions speak louder than words.

That’s the solution which Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Rand Paul, R-Ky., is engineering for the reticence of Dr. Anthony Fauci. The head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for 38 years, Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment a staggering 111 times when appearing under subpoena before Paul’s panel this week.

RAND PAUL SEEKS CONTEMPT CHARGES AFTER FAUCI INVOKES FIFTH AMENDMENT MORE THAN 100 TIMES

The only words Fauci spoke were his invocation of the Fifth Amendment on the advice of his attorney. But the action promised by Paul is contempt of Congress.

«There will be repercussions to your refusal to testify today,» warned Paul after Fauci invoked the Fifth. «The Committee will have to consider after this hearing what appropriate action should be taken against you for the failure to testify after being directed to do so. It’s against the law to obstruct an investigation of Congress.»

But it’s not as though Fauci was completely mum during the entire hearing. He offered an opening statement before leaning on the Fifth Amendment as a shield for the next three hours.

«The only conclusion I can reach is that the sole reason he is calling me before this committee is to get me to say something, anything, that could vindicate his repeated public pledges that I end up, in his words, quote, ‘behind bars,’ unquote,» Fauci said. «Any reasonable person who has followed his unhinged obsession with me would readily come to the same conclusion.»

And then Fauci fell mute. He ignored questions about his diary, inquiries about what ignited the pandemic, even interrogatives about the mundane.

TOP 5 MOMENTS FROM FAUCI’S HEARING: PAUL BOOTS LAWYER, MORENO ERUPTS AS CONTEMPT VOTE LOOMS

«What day of the week is it today?» asked Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo.

Hawley wasn’t done.

«What color tie are you’re wearing?» Hawley continued. «What is the color of the carpeting?»

From a legal standpoint, there is logic behind Hawley’s banal inquiries. These are carefully designed questions which a good prosecutor might ask a witness to trip them up.

To wit: If Fauci had already invoked the Fifth Amendment, why is he suddenly answering questions about the calendar, his tie or carpeting? If Fauci replied «Wednesday,» «blue» or «green» as answers to Hawley’s queries, Paul could have asserted that the Fifth Amendment shield no longer applied. Thus, the committee, or the courts, should compel Fauci to respond to any question.

By the same token, Republicans argued that Fauci should have been able to answer such trite questions from Hawley because they had nothing to do with the proceedings. It’s kind of a «we win, you lose» proposition for the GOP.

Yet Fauci never deviated from the script, invoking the Fifth Amendment 111 times.

CAN FAUCI HIDE BEHIND THE FIFTH? GAME-CHANGING BIDEN PARDON MAY NOT PROVIDE COMPLETE COVER, EXPERTS SAY

By the way, Fauci’s repetitive legal recitation of the Fifth is not a Senate record. In 1958, mob boss Vito Genovese appeared before a Senate panel investigating organized crime. Genovese established the mark, invoking the Fifth a stupefying 150 times.

Republicans don’t think that Fauci had any right to invoke the Fifth even once, considering his pardon from former President Joe Biden. On one hand, they asserted he should be free to testify. Democrats took issue with that.

«I’m not surprised that he pled the Fifth because the objective is to put him in jeopardy of criminal prosecution,» said Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn. «So the more prudent course was to claim the Fifth Amendment.»

Hawley saw it differently, citing the 1896 Supreme Court case Brown v. Walker.

In the late 19th Century, the Supreme Court granted auditor Theodore Brown immunity to testify in a railway rate-fixing case. But Brown still refused to testify. However, the High Court ruled that Brown had to speak. Writing for the majority, Justice Henry Billings Brown (no relation), who also wrote the opinion in Plessy v. Ferguson, declared the following:

«If it be once conceded that the fact that his testimony may tend to bring the witness into disrepute, though not to incriminate him, does not entitle him to the privilege of silence, it necessarily follows that, if it also tends to incriminate, but at the same time operates as a pardon for the offense, the fact that the disgrace remains no more entitles him to immunity in this case than in the other.»

Translation: What you have to say may be embarrassing. But if you enjoy the privilege of immunity, you still have to cough up the goods, despite the Fifth Amendment.

How Fauci conducted himself in the hearing runs parallel to former IRS official Lois Lerner’s conduct in 2014. Republicans believed that Lerner blocked groups affiliated with the Tea Party from tax-exempt status or targeted them for scrutiny. At a 2014 House Oversight Committee hearing, Lerner delivered an opening statement. She then invoked the Fifth.

The full House later voted to hold Lerner in contempt of Congress for not answering questions and referred her to the Justice Department for prosecution. The DOJ, then operating under the administration of former President Barack Obama, did not take action against Lerner.

Whether or not DOJ prosecutes contempt of Congress often comes down to which party on Capitol Hill is doing the referring, and which party controls the Justice Department.

For instance, the Republican House referred former Attorney General Eric Holder to the DOJ for contempt of Congress in 2012. But it was Holder who ran the Justice Department. So that was a dead letter.

The Democratic House referred White House Counsel Harriet Miers to the DOJ in 2008. But the administration of former President George W. Bush was simply not going to prosecute its own lead attorney at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

The Democratic House held Trump administration figures Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro in contempt of Congress for failing to appear before the committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot. Naturally, the Biden Justice Department prosecuted that duo.

So could Fauci face prosecution from the Trump Justice Department after a referral from the Republican-led Senate?

The Lerner case bears further study. The Obama DOJ declined to prosecute Lerner because she asserted her Fifth Amendment rights — but after her opening statement. Fauci did the same. Would the Trump administration perceive Fauci’s protocol at the hearing through a similar lens?

Advertisement

Paul will ask his committee to prep a resolution holding Fauci in contempt of Congress in the coming days. But the full Senate must approve such a measure before sending it to the DOJ for possible prosecution.

It’s easier to adopt a contempt of Congress resolution in the House because it only requires a simple majority. The same is true in the Senate. But it must also clear a filibuster, which needs 60 votes. That’s why contempt of Congress citations are more prevalent in the House than the Senate.

But Paul believes he has a workaround.

«I plan on sending it directly with the legal brief supporting the argument to the Department of Justice,» Paul told Fox News.

It’s then up to DOJ to prosecute Fauci or not.

However, in his same appearance on Fox, Paul said he had «sent a criminal referral on Anthony Fauci twice under Biden and twice under Trump.»

Advertisement

President Donald Trump’s DOJ hasn’t prosecuted Fauci before. But would prosecutors see it differently after Fauci’s performance at the hearing?

That brings us back to Lerner.

She invoked the Fifth Amendment and the DOJ did not prosecute. That establishes a precedent. Would the Trump DOJ follow that model? Or are we in for what could be a lengthy, perhaps seminal court battle about whether Fauci was in the right to invoke the Fifth Amendment? That may trigger a legal fight over his pardon from Biden — and perhaps what the High Court ruled in Brown v. Walker.

We’ll know when or if the DOJ takes action. In the case of Fauci, silence may be golden. But in this instance, it may be up to the courts to determine if it’s legal.

España refuerza su frontera con Marruecos tras la crisis migratoria en Ceuta que dejó al menos 67 muertos

Published

on


La ciudad de Ceuta, enclave español en el norte de África, atravesó horas críticas luego de que casi 60.000 migrantes cruzaran la frontera desde Marruecos en apenas unos días, lo que desató una crisis diplomática y llevó al Gobierno español a reforzar la frontera con nuevas vallas.

El viernes por la noche, el Gobierno aseguró que “la práctica totalidad” de los migrantes ya había regresado a Marruecos, estimando en 48.000 las personas que volvieron en los últimos días. Sin embargo, la crisis dejó al menos 67 muertos en el intento de llegar al enclave, según datos del Gobierno local.

“En menos de 48 horas, la situación en Ceuta ya no tiene nada que ver y la normalidad se está alcanzando”, declaró el ministro del Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, durante una rueda de prensa en la ciudad autónoma de Ceuta.

Este sábado, la ciudad amaneció cubierta de niebla y con grupos de jóvenes que seguían intentando regresar a Marruecos, bajo la atenta mirada de militares y agentes de la Guardia Civil. Los efectivos españoles no dudaron en empujar a quienes avanzaban lentamente, en medio de un clima de tensión.

Advertisement

La llegada masiva de migrantes, en su mayoría hombres jóvenes y adolescentes en busca de un futuro mejor, se produjo tanto a nado como saltando las vallas fronterizas.

El Ministerio del Interior anunció la instalación de una nueva barrera neumática en el espigón que delimita la frontera, una de las dos terrestres entre África y la Unión Europea (la otra es Melilla).

Europa endureció controles y creció la tensión política

El impacto de la crisis se sintió en toda la Unión Europea, con duras críticas de partidos de derecha y extrema derecha. En Italia, el Gobierno de Giorgia Meloni anunció la suspensión del tratado de libre circulación de la UE para ciudadanos no europeos que lleguen desde España, aunque aclaró que la medida no afecta a los españoles.

Francia, por su parte, multiplicó por cinco la presencia de policías y gendarmes en la frontera con España. El ministro de Asuntos Exteriores español, José Manuel Albares, denunció la “confusión interesada” y recordó que no se puede cruzar de Ceuta a la Europa continental sin pasar por controles policiales.

En medio de la polémica, Pedro Sánchez defendió una política migratoria abierta y pidió a sus socios europeos evitar divisiones, aunque reconoció que Ceuta fue escenario de una “violación y ataque a la integridad territorial de España”.

El drama de los migrantes y el recuerdo de crisis anteriores

Muchos de los migrantes que llegaron a Ceuta buscaban una oportunidad para trabajar y mejorar su vida. “Todos sabemos que en África no hay muchas oportunidades. Así que esperamos ir a Europa para poder trabajar y ganarnos la vida”, contó Souleil Boyan, un joven senegalés de 19 años que llevaba cinco meses en Marruecos antes de cruzar.

Soufian, un marroquí de 42 años que entró nadando en Ceuta, afrmó: “¿Invasión? No. Eso es mentira. Toda la gente [de Marruecos] quiere subir, quiere un futuro bien, que no hay en Marruecos. Yo ahora mismo estaba trabajando de guardia de seguridad, 12 horas. ¿Y cuánto me pagan al día? 10 euros”, explicó.

La situación superó a la crisis de mayo de 2021, cuando más de 10.000 personas cruzaron la frontera en dos días, tras una flexibilización de los controles por parte de Rabat en medio de una disputa diplomática con España.

A qué se debe la crisis migratoria

Pedro Sánchez dijo que las “mafias que trafican con seres humanos” habían hecho una “lectura interesada” de una sentencia del Tribunal Supremo español del 8 de julio, que dictaminó que las llamadas “devoluciones en caliente” (devolver de forma inmediata a un migrante que cruza irregularmente la frontera sin abrirle un procedimiento administrativo de expulsión) no se aplican en el caso de las llegadas por mar.

Según la sentencia, esta “devolución exprés” solo puede aplicarse a las personas que rebasen “los elementos de contención fronterizos establecidos, como las vallas”, pero no a quienes lo hagan por mar, como hicieron en los últimos días muchas de las personas que llegaron a Ceuta.

Los analistas también apuntan que las crisis migratorias recurrentes y el supuesto laxismo de las fuerzas de seguridad marroquíes para “abrir las puertas” serían un arma de presión diplomática, ya que Marruecos reivindica su soberanía sobre Ceuta y Melilla desde su independencia en 1956.

España denunció una actitud “egoísta” de algunos países de la UE y

En una carta, Sánchez denunció el sábado la actitud “egoísta” de algunos países de la Unión Europea ante la crisis migratoria y reclamó una reunión por videoconferencia de los ministros del Interior de los Veintisiete.

Advertisement

“Una actitud así —motivada por prejuicios, informaciones falsas, ignorancia o intereses políticos— no solo es contraria al derecho europeo, al derecho humanitario y a los principios de solidaridad que nos unen, sino que también va en contra de los intereses a largo plazo de Europa”, escribió.

El gobierno de Estados Unidos exigirá fianzas de hasta 20,000 dólares a nicaragüenses que pidan visas de turismo y negocios

El Gobierno de Estados Unidos implementará fianzas de hasta 20,000 dólares para nicaragüenses que soliciten visas de turismo y negocios, una medida que busca disminuir la permanencia irregular de ciudadanos extranjeros en el país. Según informó Despacho 505, la nueva disposición, publicada por el Departamento de Estado, forma parte de un programa piloto que también afecta a solicitantes de otros 50 países, incluidos Cuba, Granada y Venezuela en el continente americano.

De acuerdo con el reporte de Despacho 505, la norma establece que los solicitantes de visas B-1/B-2 deberán depositar una fianza de 10,000, 15,000 o 20,000 dólares, determinada según la discreción de los funcionarios consulares. El dinero será administrado por el Departamento del Tesoro y el Departamento de Estado y podrá ser recuperado una vez que el viajero cumpla con las condiciones de su visado y regrese a su país de origen. Según el Gobierno estadounidense, la iniciativa responde a los altos índices de permanencia irregular de ciudadanos de los países incluidos en la lista.

Despacho 505 detalló que, durante el primer año de implementación del programa piloto, se identificaron 20,000 solicitudes sujetas al pago de la fianza y aproximadamente la mitad de los solicitantes desistieron del proceso. Además, el medio subraya que la medida provocó una reducción del 83% en la emisión de visas de turismo y negocios para los países alcanzados por la disposición.

La situación de Nicaragua en el contexto internacional ha captado la atención de distintos gobiernos a raíz de las crecientes restricciones políticas y sociales. La medida adoptada por Estados Unidos coincide con un escenario interno marcado por la represión estatal, el cierre de espacios democráticos y el incremento del control gubernamental sobre la sociedad civil. En los últimos años, el gobierno de Daniel Ortega ha aumentado de manera significativa el presupuesto de las fuerzas de seguridad, consolidando un aparato represivo que limita la libertad de expresión y de asociación.

Organizaciones defensoras de los derechos humanos han denunciado la cancelación masiva y arbitraria de títulos profesionales en el gremio de abogados, lo que ha debilitado el acceso a la defensa legal y ha generado preocupación entre los organismos internacionales. Además, se ha reportado la falta de debido proceso en numerosos casos judiciales y el bloqueo digital de los registros, lo que obstaculiza la transparencia y el acceso a la información pública.

Otro factor relevante es el reciente anuncio sobre la cancelación de las elecciones en Nicaragua, una decisión que ha sido interpretada por diversos sectores como una manifestación del cierre total de los espacios de participación política. La cancelación electoral representa una profundización de la crisis institucional y refuerza la imagen de un sistema político sin garantías democráticas.

En este contexto, la implementación de fianzas elevadas para el otorgamiento de visas a ciudadanos nicaragüenses aparece vinculada a las preocupaciones de Estados Unidos respecto a los flujos migratorios y las condiciones internas de los países de origen. Según el Departamento de Estado, la decisión se sustenta en indicadores que reflejan altas tasas de permanencia irregular y busca incentivar el cumplimiento de los plazos de estadía autorizados.

La medida ha generado críticas entre organizaciones de derechos de los migrantes, quienes advierten que las fianzas representan una barrera económica significativa para los solicitantes de países con bajos ingresos y afectan especialmente a ciudadanos de naciones con contextos de crisis. Voceros de estas organizaciones, citados por Despacho 505, consideran que la medida limita el acceso a vías legales de ingreso y genera un impacto desproporcionado sobre poblaciones vulnerables.

El programa piloto contempla la devolución de las fianzas a quienes respeten las condiciones de su visa, pero la exigencia de un depósito tan elevado restringe el alcance de la política. De acuerdo con datos oficiales recogidos por Despacho 505, la reducción en el número de visas otorgadas evidencia el efecto disuasorio de la medida, mientras que la exclusión de países como Nicaragua se produce en un contexto de creciente presión internacional sobre su gobierno.

La decisión de Estados Unidos se produce en un momento en que el éxodo de nicaragüenses ha aumentado por la falta de garantías, el deterioro de la economía y la represión política. En este escenario, las nuevas restricciones consulares suponen un desafío adicional para quienes buscan alternativas legales de movilidad internacional.
