DUBAI, Aug 29 — Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi called on Japan today to display its independence from Washington by releasing Tehran’s frozen assets amid US sanctions.

“Japan should act independently from the US by releasing our blocked funds,” Raisi said when asked about Tehran’s US$1.5 billion blocked funds in Japan. — Reuters
