World Bank is funding nine government projects in Iran totaling $1.355 billion—one of which operates in Isfahan, the headquarters of Iran’s nuclear program.

The United States remains as the top investor in the World Bank, contributing $950 million in 2006 and $940 million in 2007. Last week, the House of Representatives approved another $950 million contribution.
