Tehran– An informed Iranian source revealed that his country had previously offered the United States to invest about one thousand billion dollars, and that US President Donald Trump has been dealing positively with the proposal, adding that President Masoud Bouchashian has already managed to gain the approval of the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei to do so.
In response to American threats to target Iran if it did not reach an agreement on the Tehran nuclear program within two months, Ali Larijani, the chief adviser to the Iranian guide, was the first to talk about the possibility of focusing on economic interests between the two countries instead of gambling of the lives of American soldiers.
In his interview with state television two weeks ago, Larijani did not forget to respond to Trump’s threats by saying that “any American mistake towards the Iranian nuclear will force us to take other paths, and we may have under pressure from the people to manufacture a nuclear weapon.”
But the Iranian and foreign media focused on its last position and interpreting it as a threat and waving the possibility of changing Tehran its nuclear faith, leaving his statements about the opportunities available for American investment in Iran, which led him to highlight it – a few days after a tweet on the X platform.
Iran is a paradise for investment
Since the President Bouchshkian indicated, last week, the Supreme Leader does not oppose the investment of American companies inside Iran, and that what Tehran rejects is Washington’s wrong policies, according to him, and some Persian -speaking newspapers have circulated reports of an Iranian proposal to attract American investments with very attractive sums, but soon they were denied on other media platforms.
In its reports, the Persian press relied on a photo of the government media member Fayyad Zahid, last week, coinciding with the announcement of the intention of the two sides to hold negotiations in the Omani capital. He wrote – before the deletion of his tweet – that “the emphasis on the strategy of economic diplomacy was the one who has strengthened political diplomacy. A comprehensive proposal (a thousand billion dollars) has been presented and the President of the Bashkayan presented this issue to the supreme guide, and he obtained a license. Then he was transferred to the Americans and the ball began to be rolled. We will provide the most fulfilling details in the future. Iran is a paradise for investment.”
Meanwhile, Al -Jazeera Net – from an early Iranian source, stipulated that his identity was not disclosed – that the proposal to invest the American private sector in Iran is not new, but was previously presented during the government of the reformist president, Muhammad Khatami, to be a preliminary step towards normalization from the economy gate instead of the policy gate, but then he collided with opposing some internal circles, and that some Iranian circles worked to revive it in the current stage.

The same source revealed that Hussein Marashi, Secretary -General of the moderate “Building cadres” party, and Fayyad Zahid, a reformist political activist and a member of the Iranian government media, met about 40 days ago, a senior merchant and businessmen close to the American President in one of the neighboring countries, and offered him a proposal that allows America to invest a thousand billion dollars in Iran in 20 years in exchange for obtaining specific amounts of oil and gas.
He continued that the American side had been positively dealt with with the Iranian proposal, pointing to Trump’s welcome, and that Tehran received a message about his approval through the businessman who broke out, adding that the President Bouchshkian had held extensive meetings with the Supreme Leader, political circles, security services and the military establishment and managed to obtain the approval of the higher authorities.
While the same spokesman confirmed that his country has developed plans to invest the US private sector with it, he concluded by saying that Khamenei did not oppose the investment of American companies in Iran, but he stipulated that the concerned authorities monitor these economic projects to prevent Israeli companies from infiltrating the country under the cover of American companies.
Investment fields
For his part, economic researcher Abdel -Ridha Dawouri considered that the American side would not use the economically from the nuclear agreement concluded between Tehran and the six -year group in 2015 a key factor behind Trump’s withdrawal from him, and that opening the door for American companies enhances the opportunities to reach a similar agreement between Tehran and the current US administration.
Speaking to Al -Jazeera Net, Dawouri explains that the wheel of foreign investment in Iran has stopped a decade ago due to the US sanctions, and that his country is in urgent need to attract investments to complete some frozen projects and start another in many areas, especially oil, gas, petrochemicals and refineries.
He believed that his country will benefit from the transfer of American technology to it, explaining that the deficit that his country suffers in the energy sector is imperative to attract urgent investments to modernize the electricity sector and build new stations in addition to investing in solar energy and mines, including the lithum used in the manufacture of electric car batteries, as well as updating the air transport sectors and shots.
Daouri concluded his speech by saying that many economic projects are frozen in his country because they need about two thousand dollars to implement them, stressing that the presence of American companies will return to the return of Western and eastern companies to them, after their exit after Trump withdrew from the nuclear agreement in 2018 and the return of sanctions on Tehran.
Do not change policies
As for whether there was a change in the Iranian position towards the United States, which it considers “the Great Satan”, we asked the question to the conservative political activist, the former Iranian ambassador to Australia and Mexico, Muhammad Hassan Qadiri Al -Abyana, who denied any change in Tehran’s initial policies towards Washington.
In his speech to Al -Jazeera Net, Abyan excluded the possibility of rapprochement between Tehran and Washington or reaching a permanent agreement between them during the coming period, because Washington has not changed its policies towards the Iranian people, and that the state of hostility will remain the lady of the situation in their relations until American governments adjust their policies towards oppressed peoples, especially the Palestinian people.
However, the ongoing negotiations between Tehran and Washington will prove to the Iranian people and the world public opinion that there is no use in negotiating to resolve differences with the United States, because the latter comes to impose its will on the negotiating table and not to solve them.
He concluded that the parties that want investments in a country to which industrial tools are headed and not with aircraft carrier and grenade launchers, noting that his country will not start a war but will respond with what it has any attack, and that all American interests in the region, including its military bases, will be in the Iranian fire after it fired the first bullet at the Iranian depth.
