A proposed US-Iran framework agreement includes a $300 billion private investment fund aimed at supporting Iran’s post-conflict economy, according to a source familiar with the deal.
The source said more than half of the total amount—over $150 billion—has already been committed by investors across five regions.
The fund is designed as a private-sector mechanism, with contributions reportedly coming from companies in the US, Gulf states, Asia, South America and Africa.
It is intended to incentivise both sides to finalise a broader peace agreement rather than serve as direct government funding.
Officials say the investment vehicle would support sectors such as energy, infrastructure, transport and manufacturing once a final deal is signed.
The fund will not become active until a full agreement is reached and remains separate from sanctions relief negotiations and other financial provisions in the deal.
The development comes as Washington and Tehran prepare for formal signing of a broader memorandum of understanding aimed at ending hostilities and stabilising regional trade routes.
Analysts say the scale of private commitments reflects strong market expectations of improved stability, though key political and security issues remain unresolved.
