FINANCIAL TIMES: A $300B RECONSTRUCTION FUND COULD BE IN PLACE FOR IRAN. - The Trump administration is considering a package that could include sanctions relief and a $300 billion private-sector investment fund for Iran if Tehran agrees to a final nuclear deal and maintains peace. - The fund would be tied to Iran’s compliance with the agreement and would be funded by private companies, not governments, to help rebuild and modernize Iran’s economy. - Officials say there is strong potential interest from businesses in Europe, Asia (including Japan and South Korea), and the U.S., especially given Iran’s large population and significant energy resources. If this is true…it would functionally be the “reparations” that Iran has been asked for while US companies get to set up shop in Iran and bring them into the global economy if sanctions come off.
