U.S. officials rejected reports that any agreement with Iran would include a $300 billion investment fund. They stated the United States is not investing in the reported fund and added that private parties could choose to invest if they wished.
Officials described the memorandum of understanding as not yet finalized. They said the option to return to previous measures remains available if terms are not met. A journalist asked about the reported fund during remarks on the potential agreement.
“No, it’s FALSE. We are not investing. People can decide to do that, but it’s up to them.”
Multiple outlets reported the existence of claims about a large-scale fund tied to the potential deal. Officials directly addressed those claims as inaccurate. The clarification came amid ongoing discussions about the scope of any agreement.
