US draft peace deal with Iran includes '$300 billion' reconstruction fund as Trump withholds final signature

[C_Clayton_Jones]

“A draft memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran has been reported to include a proposed $300 billion (£223.6bn) postwar fund for Iran. The New York Times reported that the proposal has been described differently by each side at the table — with an Iranian official calling it a 'reconstruction programme,' while two diplomats familiar with the latest draft referred to it as an international 'investment fund' that the United States would help facilitate if a final deal is reached.
[…]
The rebranding of Tehran's reparations demand into an 'investment fund' appears to be a deliberate diplomatic manoeuvre. The American side redefined the amount as an international investment fund, intentionally avoiding the words 'compensation' or 'reparations,' according to diplomats familiar with the draft. This idea has been attributed to Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.”

The criminal Trump regime – the most corrupt and dishonest.

And Witkoff and Kushner are among the most corrupt and dishonest of regime members.

The fact remains that these are reparations, whatever Trump wants to call it.

Trump drained the "US Stragic Petrolium Reserve" to the lowest levels since 1983

I wonder what Maga has to say about this. When Obama released frozen Iranian funds in order for the JCPOA to be agreed upon, we were "giving" Iran money. If the US finalizes this agreement, we will actually be giving Iran money, not their money but US taxpayer money in the form of 300 billion! Is this what Maga had in mind when they elected Trump? For him to be giving Iran hundreds of billions of our money to them?

Try as you America haters might, you aren’t going to be able to cry and vitriol piss stain this one .

That's what its there for. If we sold oil for $90 - $100 /bbl and refill it for $70/bbl that is a win.

If we give Iran ANY money, its a lost war. A permanent stain on Trump's legacy.

Hell, it's not taxpayer money so if your friends behave themselves it's none of our business. However, they must be civilized Muzzies otherwise they'll get more bombs.

This shit's not gonna work.
It's just not.
If there is any silver lining they agreed to another 60-day ceasefire.

Trump drained the "US Stragic Petrolium Reserve" to the lowest levels since 1983

Congressional Democrats blocked the Trump administration's effort to add to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in March 2020. The dispute unfolded as follows:

The Proposal: In the early weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic, global oil demand cratered, sending crude prices plummeting. The Trump administration requested $3 billion to purchase 77 million barrels of crude oil to top off the reserve and support struggling domestic oil producers.

The Blockade: Democrats in Congress stripped the funding from the massive $2 trillion coronavirus stimulus package (the CARES Act).

The Rationale: Then-Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and other congressional Democrats argued against the move, labeling the purchase as an unnecessary "bailout for big oil" rather than an appropriate use of pandemic-relief funds.​
