Iran deal includes $300 billion fund, more than half of which already committed: Reuters
More than half of the fund is already committed, and the vehicle will finance energy, logistics, manufacturing and transport without government grants.
- On Friday, the United States and Tehran prepare to sign a framework agreement outlining a $300 billion private fund designed to trigger investment into Iran, with more than half the sum already committed by international companies.
- Officials from the United States and Iran agreed on Sunday to end their conflict, which began in February, halting the United States blockade of Iran and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a key supply route for global oil and gas.
- Companies from the United States, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, and Malaysia have committed financing for the Reconstruction and Development Fund, a private investment vehicle that is not a government program, a source said.
- On Monday, Vice President Vance said Iran could access the fund if it complies with requirements including dismantling its nuclear program, as a 60-day memorandum structures the negotiating process across multiple tracks.
- Tehran originally sought $400 billion in war damages, but the United States refused; the fund remains separate from sanctions discussions, aiming to leverage Iran's potential including a population of 92 million and vast oil and gas reserves.
