PANews reported on May 29 that, according to Israeli media outlet i24News citing The New York Times, a draft memorandum of understanding being negotiated between the United States and Iran has revealed more details. Sources familiar with the matter said the framework aims to create conditions for a subsequent long-term agreement by temporarily easing hostilities and providing political and economic commitments. Some draft versions even describe the agreement as a "war-ending" arrangement covering multiple fronts, including a cessation of military conflict in Lebanon.
The report states that one of the most attention-grabbing aspects of the draft agreement is the establishment of an international investment fund of approximately $300 billion to support Iran's post-war reconstruction and economic development. However, this amount has not yet been confirmed by all mediators. Iran views it as a reconstruction plan following a final agreement, rather than a direct compensation mechanism. If progress is made on this agreement, it could be a significant signal of the easing of tensions between the US and Iran and a de-escalation of tensions in the Middle East in recent years, and could potentially impact the global energy market.
