The Trump administration is considering support for a $300 billion private investment fund for Iran. The fund would be financed entirely by international private companies.
Access to the fund would be possible only after Tehran complies with a comprehensive agreement. This agreement includes maintaining a ceasefire, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and progress in nuclear negotiations.
The proposal is part of efforts to turn a preliminary understanding into a lasting settlement. The United States and Iran reached this preliminary understanding aimed at ending months of conflict.
The understanding also covers reopening the Strait of Hormuz and creating a framework for further talks on Iran’s nuclear programme and sanctions relief.
Access to the investment funds would depend on Iran’s adherence to measures such as maintaining a ceasefire. It also requires supporting the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and making progress in nuclear negotiations.
Any sanctions relief would be phased and linked to Iran’s adherence to the agreement. The plan aims to provide economic incentives linked to verifiable restrictions on Iran's nuclear activities and sanctions relief.
This could potentially become one of Iran's largest foreign investments since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
