How it all is becoming clearer--as usual--that the MoU's release keeps being delayed. Iran said it would be released "upon signing". Well, it was signed 48 hrs ago.
Instead of a Reparations Fund paid by the US & Gulf states it's now an Investment Fund where US will weasel in?
🇮🇷 Iran says it will soon begin connecting its electricity grid with Qatar, reviving a 2022 MOU, and facilitate the transfer of up to 1,000 megawatts of power, according to Iran’s Energy Minister Abbas Aliabadi and IRGC-affiliated Tasnim.
🔹 Aliabadi said feasibility studies are in their final stage and the project is entering implementation. Iran is also studying electricity links with other Gulf Cooperation Council states.
🔹 The move signals deepening economic ties as the U.S.-Iran agreement advances. The Financial Times and Reuters have reported that the proposed MOU includes a $300 billion investment and reconstruction fund intended to attract foreign capital into Iran if a final agreement is reached after 60 days.
🔹 Companies in the U.S., Europe, South Korea, Japan and elsewhere have expressed interest in investments in Iran spanning energy, manufacturing, transport and logistics.
