VIENNA (Reuters) - Iran's foreign reserves total between $115 billion and $125 billion (£74.2 billion and £80.7 billion), including assets in its sovereign wealth fund, its industry minister said on Friday in one of the most detailed public descriptions of the reserves by an Iranian official.

The size of the foreign reserves and the way in which Iran uses them will be crucial in its efforts to rebuild its economy after years of international sanctions, which may be removed around the end of this year after last week's agreement between Tehran and world powers on its nuclear programme.
