US President Donald Trump has dismissed reports claiming that the United States would provide Iran with a massive financial package, calling the claims “fake news.” In a post on Truth Social, Trump asserted that Iran had agreed never to acquire a nuclear weapon and denied reports suggesting Washington would pay Tehran billions of dollars.
His remarks came after the United States and Iran signed a preliminary memorandum of understanding aimed at ending more than 100 days of tensions and creating a framework for negotiations on Iran’s nuclear programme and possible sanctions relief. However, several key issues remain unresolved, and details of the agreement have not been fully disclosed.
Earlier, the Financial Times reported that the Trump administration was considering backing a fund worth nearly $300 billion to support foreign companies interested in investing in Iran. According to the report, the money would not be handed directly to the Iranian government but would instead be used to encourage economic reconstruction and investment in the country. Iranian media had also cited the proposed fund as one of the provisions intended to help rebuild the nation.
US officials, however, have stressed that any economic benefits would depend entirely on Iran complying with the terms of the agreement. Washington’s key demands reportedly include a commitment from Tehran not to pursue nuclear weapons and to halt support for regional militant groups.
Reports also indicate that both countries are expected to hold discussions on the future of Iran’s uranium enrichment programme and the handling of its existing stockpile of enriched uranium. Under the draft memorandum, Iran’s current nuclear activities would remain unchanged while negotiations continue, and the US would refrain from imposing new sanctions or increasing military deployments during this period.
If a final agreement is reached, sanctions on Iran would be lifted in phases based on progress in the talks, while US forces deployed during the conflict would be withdrawn within 30 days. The release of frozen Iranian assets and broader sanctions relief would also be implemented gradually and linked to Tehran’s adherence to the agreement.
Senior US officials have clarified that no money has been transferred to Iran since the memorandum was signed. They reiterated that any future sanctions relief or economic assistance would depend on Iran’s conduct, with concerns over its nuclear programme remaining Washington’s top priority.
