Iran is set to receive broad financial incentives as part of its agreement with the US, including the right to sell oil immediately, tap a $300 billion development fund and get eventual access to its frozen assets, according to a near-final draft of the deal.

While the contours of the memorandum of understanding have been circulating for days, the document, a copy of which was seen by Bloomberg News, offers the most complete accounting yet of the economic boost Iran is set to receive for ending its chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz and reiterating its commitment never to seek a nuclear weapon. 

The two sides are set to formally sign the agreement on June 19 in Switzerland, paving the way for 60 days of talks to end their war for good and put strict new limits on Iran’s nuclear program. One person familiar with the matter said technical details were still being worked out, suggesting precise language could still change.

US, Iran Prepare for Deal Signing With Both Claiming Victory

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/886eeb04-df1d-43b8-9334-b46b0133894e/transcript

A review of the reported deal between the United States and Iran, and Washington's reaction to it, led Bloomberg Intelligence's June 15 Washington Policy Pulse. We also discussed a June 12 US export-control mandate to Anthropic, which caused the company to pull its models, and how it's likely boosting the case for AI legislation. While odds of a bill passing this year are low, aggressive AI laws may damp growth for companies like Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, and Nvidia. Other topics of discussion include the appropriations process, marijuana rescheduling and logistics in the Senate related to former SEC Chairman Jay Clayton's nomination to be the next Director of National Intelligence.

The Bloomberg Intelligence Financial Policy weekly call is designed to provide investors an opportunity to learn about the most recent relevant policy research, information regarding forthcoming political catalysts and other on-goings within Washington DC.  

The call is open to all and is held every Monday at 10:00 a.m. EST. You can register for the call here: https://bloomberg.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__PqCkwY-S2m3hbQqvVC1_Q#/registration

Weekly Washington Policy Pulse: US-Iran Deal, AI Rules (June 15, 2026)

The US and Iran reached an interim peace agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and move further toward ending a 15-week war that’s wrought chaos across the Middle East and reverberated through the global economy.

The development caused equities and bonds to jump at the start of the week, while oil and natural gas prices — which soared with the strait’s closure — slumped.

US President Donald Trump, under pressure as rising fuel costs hit him and his Republican Party ahead of midterm elections in November, hailed a “great deal that will bring peace and security to the whole region.” He had pushed for it to be announced on Sunday, his 80th birthday. The agreement was already signed electronically by Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.
