An expert says President Donald Trump’s proposed plan for a $300 billion investment fund for Iran may be difficult to carry out under existing U.S. sanctions law, particularly due to restrictions involving the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Both outlets report that legal constraints could limit or prevent transactions tied to sectors or entities that the U.S. treats as IRGC-linked, including parts of Iran’s construction industry. The concern is that IRGC control or influence in relevant areas could trigger sanctions risk for any investment, financing, or related activities connected to the fund. As described, the main obstacle is not the proposal itself but whether the structure and targeting of investments can avoid prohibited dealings under current regulations. The expert’s assessment characterizes implementation as “close to impossible,” reflecting the challenge of finding lawful pathways that would comply with the IRGC-related sanctions framework.
