A $300 billion private investment fund is included in a U.S.-Iran framework agreement aimed at creating incentives for the two sides to conclude a final agreement, Reuters reports. Multiple outlets cite a source familiar with the plan, saying more than half of the fund’s commitments have already been secured. The source, who speaks anonymously because the plan has not yet been formally announced, describes the vehicle as a private investment mechanism rather than a reconstruction or reparations program. According to the reporting, it does not involve government money or grants. The framework also includes steps tied to wider détente efforts, with U.S. and Iranian officials agreeing to end their war, halt the U.S. blockade of Iran, and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a major oil and gas supply route. Companies based in the United States, Gulf Arab states, Asia, South America, and Africa are said to have agreed to commit financing. The pledged investments cover sectors including energy, logistics, manufacturing, and transportation. The plan is set to be signed by Washington and Tehran on Friday, as described by the sources.
