According to the report, the fund would be financed by private companies looking to invest in Iran, not by the US government. The plan's implementation is conditional on Tehran's compliance with the deal.
The administration of US President Donald Trump is considering creating an investment fund worth $300 billion for Iran, provided that Tehran respects the agreement reached, particularly regarding the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and the progress of nuclear negotiations.
According to a report by the Financial Times, the fund's launch will depend on a final agreement included in the memorandum of understanding. This agreement is expected to follow a 60-day extension of the ceasefire, which, according to the report, will be signed on Friday in Switzerland.
A senior American official, quoted by the British newspaper, stated that the fund, whose structure and management still remain unclear, will be financed by companies that intend to invest in Iran, a country with significant energy resources.
According to the same source, companies from Europe and Asia, especially from South Korea and Japan, have shown interest in participating.
The extent of the economic incentives the United States has proposed for Iran remains one of the most contentious issues in the negotiations. It is also considered politically sensitive for President Trump, who does not want to be seen as rewarding Iran's Islamic regime.
Critics of the memorandum have argued that the economic packages being discussed are significantly larger than those approved during the administration of former President Barack Obama.
Under the terms of the memorandum, any sanctions relief, including the release of Iranian assets frozen abroad, will be implemented gradually and will be linked to progress in nuclear talks and the achievement of a final settlement.
However, senior Trump administration officials have indicated that Washington may offer some limited economic relief measures in the early stages to build trust between the parties.
Meanwhile, President Trump dismissed reports that the United States would pay Iran $300 million. In a post on the Truth Social platform, he called the claims "fake news."
"Iran agreed to never acquire nuclear weapons. Also, the claim that the US is paying Iran $300 million is fake news," Trump wrote, attributing this information to Democratic opponents.
