A framework agreement between the US and Iran includes a $300 billion private fund designed to attract corporate investment into the country, with more than half of that amount already committed by companies, according to an exclusive Reuters report.
The deal is set to be formally signed on June 19, 2026. The fact that roughly $150 billion in corporate commitments are already locked in before the signing ceremony even happens tells you something about how eagerly the private sector has been waiting for this door to open.
What the fund actually looks like
The fund is structured entirely around private-sector participation. No direct government funding.
The fund is part of a broader set of incentives tied to ending recent conflicts, particularly surrounding access to the Strait of Hormuz. That waterway handles roughly a fifth of the world’s daily oil supply.
