Jakarta, ThedailyID — Iran could secure a US$300 billion investment package as part of a landmark peace agreement with the United States, marking a major breakthrough after decades of tensions between the two countries.
The agreement is expected to move forward after both sides sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) in Switzerland on June 19. The deal follows months of indirect negotiations mediated by Pakistan.
According to reports, the proposed US$300 billion package would come primarily from private-sector investors rather than direct US government funding. The investments would target key sectors including energy, transportation, manufacturing, and logistics.
The economic package forms part of a broader effort to reintegrate Iran into the global economy. For years, international sanctions have limited the country’s access to foreign investment despite its vast oil and natural gas reserves.
In addition, the agreement reportedly includes plans to release US$24 billion in frozen Iranian assets. Negotiators could transfer part of the funds before formal talks begin, while the remainder would be released during a 60-day negotiation period.
Initially, Iran sought as much as US$400 billion in compensation and economic support. However, negotiators later shifted toward a US$300 billion investment framework focused on reconstruction and long-term development.
Meanwhile, the upcoming MoU will establish the framework for final negotiations between Washington and Tehran. Both countries will use the next 60 days to discuss the terms of a permanent agreement.
US Vice President JD Vance previously indicated that Iran could gain access to economic support if it complies with several conditions. These reportedly include restrictions on its nuclear program and enhanced international monitoring.
If finalized, the agreement would represent one of the largest foreign investment commitments in Iran’s modern history. Moreover, analysts believe it could reshape economic and diplomatic relations across the Middle East.
