The new offer looked interesting. Bank Markazi suggested that when the Iranian funds were unfrozen, it would repay with interest outstanding loans that had been negotiated with about 100 international banks during the Shah's regime. In addition, Iran agreed to set up an escrow account to pay off other loans. An escrow account is a bank deposit that is controlled by a third party until certain...
