Sources cited by Reuters indicate that investors have already committed more than half of the planned $300 billion investment package intended to help rebuild and modernize Iran.
The investment initiative is designed to encourage both countries to reach a broader understanding under a ceasefire agreement scheduled to be signed in Switzerland on June 19, 2026.
The 60-day arrangement is not a final peace agreement but rather a preliminary ceasefire deal.
During this period, Iranian and American officials will work together to address key issues, including nuclear weapons, sanctions imposed on Iran, and measures to strengthen regional security.
On June 14, 2026, it was confirmed that Iran and the United States had agreed to a ceasefire after nearly three and a half months of conflict initiated by Washington.
A source familiar with the matter stated that the $300 billion package consists of private-sector investments and should not be considered compensation for war damages in Iran, nor does it involve the release of Iranian assets that had previously been frozen.
The investments are expected to come from companies based in the Gulf region, Asia, the United States, and Africa. The funds will be directed toward sectors such as energy, transportation, manufacturing, and other key industries.
Companies from South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, and the United States have reportedly confirmed their intention to invest in Iran.
An Iranian official also revealed that Tehran requested $400 billion in compensation from the United States to repair war-related damage. However, Washington reportedly rejected the demand, insisting that it would not provide any compensation payments.
Although Iran is one of the major economies in the Middle East, it has attracted relatively limited foreign investment over the past four decades due largely to sanctions imposed by the United States and other international bodies, which have discouraged foreign companies from investing in the country.
The source added, “These investments will be implemented once the agreement is formally approved. During the 60-day period, investment officials will work closely with Iranian authorities and investors to identify and develop projects that will receive funding.”
