The Trump administration is weighing a $300 billion investment fund for Iran, contingent on Tehran’s compliance with a potential nuclear agreement. The fund would channel private sector capital and Gulf state participation into Iran’s economy, not direct US taxpayer dollars, according to the framework under discussion.
On June 2, the US Treasury sanctioned Nobitex, Iran’s largest digital asset exchange, freezing roughly $1 billion in crypto assets tied to sanctions evasion.
The deal on the table
Trump labeled elements of the story as “fake news” on Truth Social, while simultaneously insisting on Iran’s nuclear restraint as a precondition for any agreement.
Vice President JD Vance has taken a different tack, discussing conditional access for Iran should the country adhere to an expected ceasefire.
