By Andy Sullivan WASHINGTON, June 17 (Reuters) – S By Andy Sullivan WASHINGTON, June 17 (Reuters) – Shortly after the U.S. and Israel launched airstrikes on Iran on February 28, U.S. President Donald Trump laid out a host of objectives, from destroying Iran‘s ballistic missile capabilities to ensuring Tehran can never have a nuclear weapon. More than three months later, with a preliminary peace deal in place, what has Trump achieved? Continues as a free article on kayhanlife.com

By Andrew Mills, Maha El Dahan and Parisa Hafezi By Andrew Mills, Maha El Dahan and Parisa Hafezi DUBAI, June 16 (Reuters) – A $300 billion private fund designed to trigger investment into Iran is outlined in the U.S.-Iran framework agreement and more than half that sum has already been committed, a source with direct knowledge of the deal told Reuters. The fund is designed to give both sides an economic incentive to conclude a final deal, said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the plan has not yet been announced as Washington and Tehran prepare to sign on Friday. U.S. and Iranian officials said on Sunday they had agreed on a framework to end their war, which began when U.S. and Israeli forces attacked Iran on February 28, halt the U.S. blockade of Iran and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a key supply route for global oil and gas. The new fund is a private investment vehicle, not a reconstruction or reparations program and will not include any government money or grants, the source said, adding that companies based in the U.S., the [Persian] Gulf Arab states, Asia, South America and Africa have agreed to commit financing. Investments pledged span energy, logistics, manufacturing and transport, the source said. A senior Iranian source told Reuters that Tehran had originally sought $400 billion as compensation for war damages from the U.S. but Washington had said it would not provide it. The idea for the fund, which is to be named the Reconstruction and Development Fund, had then emerged. The mechanism envisages regional countries contributing in various ways, the Iranian source said. These include securing loans, establishing credit lines or directly financing the reconstruction of sites damaged in the war, including facilities such as the Mobarakeh Steel complex, refineries, airports and, more broadly, infrastructure affected by the conflict. Iran, one of the Middle East’s largest economies, has attracted almost no significant foreign direct investment in the past four decades, frozen out of global capital markets by successive waves of U.S. and international sanctions.

WASHINGTON, June 16 (Reuters) – The U.S. will allo WASHINGTON, June 16 (Reuters) – The U.S. will allow Iran to immediately begin selling oil and fuel under the memorandum of understanding the two sides reached to end the war, a senior U.S. official said on Tuesday. The provision for waiving sanctions on Iranian oil sales takes effect once the agreement is signed this week and also covers services including banking, transportation and insurance to facilitate the sales, the source said. The U.S. official said the agreement has conditions. “This is a performance-based agreement,” the person said on condition of anonymity. “Iran can only access any benefits of the MOU if they abide by all of the points they agreed to – including no nuclear weapon, neutralizing its enriched material, and not interfering with the free flow of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.” (Reporting by Timothy Gardner Ryan Patrick Jones in Toronto; Editing by Daphne Psaledakis, Caitlin Webber, Alexandra Hudson)
By Steve Holland and Jana Choukeir EVIAN-LES-BAINS By Steve Holland and Jana Choukeir EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France/DUBAI, June 16 (Reuters) – Details began to emerge on Tuesday of the U.S. and Iran‘s interim deal to end the war in the Middle East, with Donald Trump saying it will rule out a nuclear weapon for Tehran and a U.S. official saying it allows Iran to sell oil upon signing. The interim deal is set to extend a tenuous ceasefire announced in April by another 60 days and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has effectively blocked since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran in February. The U.S. president said the text of the deal states clearly that Tehran will not have a nuclear weapon, and the full agreement would be made public in a formal setting in a few days. Speaking at the G7 meetings in France, Trump added that he liked the idea of sending the Iran deal to Congress for review, a request by some Republican lawmakers. A senior U.S. official said the deal allows Iran to immediately begin selling oil and fuel, and included banking, transportation and insurance services to facilitate the sales. The official added the agreement has conditions. “Iran can only access any benefits of the MOU if they abide by all of the points they agreed to – including no nuclear weapon, neutralizing its enriched material, and not interfering with the free flow of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.”
