The administration of US President Donald Trump is considering investing in Iran to bring the country back to negotiations over its nuclear program.
It is noted that among the conditions being discussed and previously unreported is an investment of $20-30 billion in a new Iranian nuclear program without uranium enrichment, which will be used for civilian energy purposes.
A Trump administration official told the publication that the money would not come directly from the United States, but from the White House’s Arab partners. Investment in Iranian nuclear energy facilities was discussed during previous rounds of nuclear talks, the journalists added.
CNN also learned that other incentives include the potential lifting of some sanctions on Iran and giving Tehran access to $6 billion currently held in foreign bank accounts.
At the same time, the channel’s interlocutors emphasized that these are only preliminary proposals, and it is unknown what final conditions will be offered to Iran at the negotiating table.
