Im not one who says the US will use tax dollars for this. The concern is that it will assist in Iran obtaining 300 billion from other sources. You can see the wiggle words Trump is using in that statement.

It’s not an exaggeration to say Trump is surrendering if this is halfway accurate.
Iran will end up in better shape than before the “excursion”” began…

The 300 billion is from Gulf countries willing to invest when sanctions are removed. Read the reportage.


You mean like the $600 million dollar ballroom will be built without any taxpayer money? When is everyone going wake up and come to their senses that Trump is nothing but a liar and con man?

President Donald Trump on Wednesday called reports of a leaked memorandum of understanding between the U.S. and Iran "false" and said the U.S. would not be giving Iran any money as part of the ceasefire framework.

Asked by Fox News' Peter Doocy about reports of a $300 billion investment and reconstruction fund funded by Gulf allies, Trump responded, "It's false. False."

"You can invest if you want. I mean, what am I going to do, say nobody's ever allowed to invest? No, we're not investing. We're not putting up $0.10. And, people can decide to do that, but that's up to them. I mean, do you want me to say nobody's ever allowed to invest in in a country?" Trump said.


There's a lot of spin here.

He's saying the reports of the US using public funds for the $300B are false, but doing it in a way to permit NPCs to run saying the memo itself is false, when the memo does not mention the US funding the $300B. You've seen a few people try to jump in to parrot this NPC talking point ITT, with The Pirate King being the last to do so.

I like the humor. $300B is an oddly specific number though, so that may be a somewhat accurate estimate of the destruction inflicted.

With that said, it seems wildly implausible that this will ever happen. Even if anything close to this was ever given, the amount of accounting and oversight would need to be insanely applied. The potential for corruption would make Ukraine look like shoplifting a candy bar.

It's politics from Trump but its still a made up number. And it's that's made up, I think it's ok to question the other 13 points.

Guess we will see Friday

I'll bet you JD Vance and Tulsi never wanted to get into this war, and JD was told to make chicken salad out of chicken shite given where we ended up after starting this war.

6. The United States undertakes, together with its regional partners, to create a comprehensive plan agreed upon by both parties for the rehabilitation and economic development of the Islamic Republic of Iran, While ensuring financing of at least $300 billion. The implementation mechanism of this plan, as part of the final agreement, will be formulated within 60 days.


Its number 6 on the list. Its a point Trump flat out refutes. That's not really a spin.

We will have to wait until Friday to see how much political talk Trump is using when the deal is officially made public. But as of right now, Trump says it isn't true.

The US ensuring financing =/= the US financing

He's saying the US isn't giving them public funds, which point 6 never claimed

In his statement he CLEARLY says other countries will be allowed to finance Iran, which is what has been reported and point 6 permits
