“A draft memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran has been reported to include a proposed $300 billion (£223.6bn) postwar fund for Iran. The New York Times reported that the proposal has been described differently by each side at the table — with an Iranian official calling it a 'reconstruction programme,' while two diplomats familiar with the latest draft referred to it as an international 'investment fund' that the United States would help facilitate if a final deal is reached.
[…]
The rebranding of Tehran's reparations demand into an 'investment fund' appears to be a deliberate diplomatic manoeuvre. The American side redefined the amount as an international investment fund, intentionally avoiding the words 'compensation' or 'reparations,' according to diplomats familiar with the draft. This idea has been attributed to Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.”
