Saed News: The New York Times, citing several Iranian officials, has reported the proposal of an “international investment fund” during the negotiations, valued at 300 billion dollars, which would help rebuild the damages inflicted on Iran.
According to SAEDNEWS, the American newspaper The New York Times described the idea of the investment fund as the “most surprising and newest addition to the Iran–US agreement.”
According to the report, one Iranian official described this fund as a “reconstruction program” that would be promised to Iran if a final agreement is signed. Earlier, in the initial stages of negotiations, Tehran had demanded compensation for damages resulting from bombings, which some Iranian officials estimated between 300 billion and 1 trillion dollars.
The New York Times wrote that the United States is expected, in the event of a final agreement, to help establish this “international investment fund.” Some experts believe this fund is an initiative for the United States to participate in rebuilding the damages of the war in Iran.
According to the American newspaper, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, the two main US negotiators on Iran, had initially proposed launching real estate projects in Tehran and creating an investment fund in the event of an agreement, and this investment fund is considered a developed version of that initial idea.
The New York Times claims that Iranian officials have suggested to American negotiators that US companies, including major oil and energy firms, enter Iran for investment and joint contracts.
Some experts believe Iran, by presenting this investment fund initiative, aims to compel the United States to compensate war damages in various forms.
