frozen Iranian assets<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Iranian delegation has \u201ca lot of objections, criticisms and concerns\u201d about the pace of the MOU\u2019s implementation, including Article 1, which covers the ceasefire in south Lebanon, Al Jazeera\u2019s Mohammed Vall reported from Tehran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
