A USD 300 billion private fund designed to trigger investment into Iran is outlined in the US-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 to end the war. Meanwhile, at least three tankers carrying Iranian oil have sailed through the US naval blockade this week, with a fourth, an empty vessel, heading towards the Gulf of Oman, as per reports.
