300 billion dollar investment fund: new details on the memorandum of understanding

According to an Iranian source, senior US officials and two diplomats, who participated in the negotiations, the agreement refers to an investment fund for Iran, which is estimated to reach $300 billion, according to the Iranian source and a diplomat.

Two diplomats called it an international “investment fund” that the US would help facilitate in the event of a final agreement.

Iranian officials added that the Trump administration has proposed that American companies, including oil and energy companies, invest in Iran and enter into joint venture agreements.

According to the senior Iranian official, Iran will suspend its nuclear program in exchange for a commitment from Washington not to tighten sanctions while the two sides negotiate a final agreement. according to him, The existing American sanctions on Iran, which were imposed mainly in response to the nuclear program – will be lifted over time if a final agreement is reached.

If the agreement is indeed signed and implemented, the Trump administration is expected to transfer the funds to Iran through other countries, such as Qatar. This, after the president had previously harshly criticized former US President Barack Obama, who transferred money to Iran after signing the nuclear deal with it in 2015.

It was also stated by the Iranian senior official and the two diplomats that the funds will be transferred to Iran gradually after the signing of the agreement. Also, the Iranian regime Demands as part of the agreement access to his assets worth up to 20 billion dollars frozen in the Middle East.
