A 300 billion post-war reconstruction fund—if this number is real, the stakes in geopolitical games have inched up by another notch.

According to i24News citing The New York Times, the Iran-U.S. understanding draft constitutes a framework for easing hostility, supplemented by political and economic commitments to facilitate a long-term agreement; it is considered a declaration of "ending the war," and even includes stopping fighting in Lebanon. The draft establishes an international investment fund of approximately $300 billion for Iran's post-war reconstruction, with the start date to be determined by the agreement's conclusion. Some mediators have not confirmed this figure.
