The United States and Qatar are working on a plan that could give Iran access to billions of dollars in frozen funds for humanitarian spending, the Wall Street Journal reported on June 20, citing people familiar with the matter.
According to the report, the plan, which is yet to be finalized, would initially allow Tehran to use $6 billion held in Qatar to buy food, medicine and other humanitarian goods.
The funds are part of Iran’s estimated $100 billion in cash frozen worldwide, much of it is revenue from oil sales locked up overseas under sanctions.
Under the proposed plan, Iran’s central bank would be able to order humanitarian goods using the previously frozen funds, with transfers carried out under international supervision, according to the Journal, which noted that the plan remains in its early stages and has not yet been agreed to by Tehran.
The proposal would mark another financial incentive under the memorandum of understanding recently signed by the U.S. and Iran.
Just last week, a report by Reuters revealed that the United Arab Emirates has agreed to unlock billions of dollars for Iran. Sources familiar with the matter told the news agency that the sum could be as high as $20 billion, although Abu Dhabi quickly refuted the claims.
While the U.S. was not mentioned in the report — released on June 12 right before the deal with Iran was announced — as a part of the Emirate plan to funnel billions to Iran, it is certainly involved.
In addition to these incentives, a recent report by the Journal estimated that the deal with the U.S. could allow Iran to earn more than $60 billion a year from oil sales. The number is based on the Islamic Republic’s prewar production levels and current prices.
Several oil-laden Iranian tankers have already left port and crossed the former U.S. naval blockade line this week, the report, published on June 18, said, describing the movement as an early sign of anticipated exports.
It is worth noting that under the deal, the U.S. has agreed to issue waivers for the export of Iranian crude oil, petroleum products and derivatives, and all associated services, including banking transactions, insurances, and transportation for the duration of
The deal also calls for lifting all sanctions on the Islamic Republic and establishes a $300 billion fund for its reconstruction and economic development, although both measures are linked to reaching a comprehensive agreement within a 60-day negotiation period.
All in all, Iran is set to get major economic benefits from the deal with the U.S., even exceeding what was included in the ill-fated 2015 nuclear deal.
And while the plan the U.S. is currently working on with Qatar and several other financial incentives are restricted to the civilian sphere of the Iranian economy, they will still enable the Islamic Republic to increase military spending in a significant way.
