US media (i24News citing the New York Times) report a U.S.-Iran draft understanding under negotiation that would temporarily ease hostilities and pair parallel political and economic commitments to pave the way for a long-term deal. Some draft versions frame the package as a multi-front "end of war" declaration that would include halting fighting in Lebanon. A notable proposal is an international investment fund for Iran valued at roughly $300 billion; mediators have not universally confirmed the figure. Iranian officials describe the fund as a post-agreement reconstruction vehicle, while Tehran’s earlier compensation claims for past attack losses were reportedly much larger. The proposal remains a draft with significant uncertainty.
