As negotiations continue over Iran's nuclear program, Tehran is reportedly offering the United States significant investment opportunities in its oil, gas, and mining sectors, according to sources cited by the Financial Times.

These overtures, allegedly designed to appeal to President Donald Trump's deal-making sensibilities, aim to break the deadlock in talks and avert further escalation of tensions.

According to a source familiar with the matter, the proposed investments represent a "huge business opportunity" for American companies.

The incentives are specifically targeted at attracting Trump's attention by promising substantial economic returns in the oil, gas, mining, and critical minerals sectors.

The latest round of discussions between Iranian and U.S. officials took place in Geneva, as both sides seek to resolve the long-standing dispute over Tehran's nuclear ambitions and de-escalate tensions.

A second source told the Financial Times that discussions have taken place regarding potential U.S. investments in the oil and gas industries, although no formal proposal has been presented to Washington.

The source added that Iran is closely studying Venezuela as a case study, referencing Trump's efforts to secure oil deals for U.S. companies in the Latin American nation following actions against President Nicolás Maduro.

An unnamed U.S. official told the Financial Times that Iran has yet to make any formal commercial offer.

Trump, who has bolstered the U.S. military presence in the Middle East, recently warned Tehran that it had a limited time to reach an agreement or face severe consequences, while also expressing a preference for a diplomatic resolution.

Hamid Ghanbari, an aide to Iran's foreign minister, stated that the United States did not reap sufficient economic benefits from the 2015 nuclear deal.

Ghanbari emphasized the need for the United States to achieve substantial and rapid economic gains to ensure the sustainability of any future agreement.

He suggested focusing on less sensitive areas with high economic returns, such as energy, oil, gas, mining investments, and specific urban development projects.

Ghanbari also indicated that aircraft purchases could be included in the agreement.
