Considering the US isn't the source of the funding, you're absolutely correct.

Yes please tell me what I’m missing

Unlike the pallets of cash Hussein sent to the Ayatollah to pursue their nuclear ambitions, mind you.

Ending the fighting: The U.S. and Iran declared a permanent end to military operations on all fronts, including the Israel-Hezbollah fighting in Lebanon.

Strait of Hormuz: Iran clears its mines and keeps the strait open with no tolls, while the U.S. lifts its naval blockade on Iranian ports.

Sanctions: Oil and some financial sanctions are lifted, with relief tied to Iran’s compliance.

Frozen funds: Roughly $24 billion in Iranian assets are to be unfrozen, half before final negotiations begin.
quote:Provided by whom? Us? I had heard this being put up by other M.E. states, is that not accurate?
$300B reconstruction fund: The U.S. has offered Iran access to a $300 billion reconstruction fund contingent on Iran fulfilling its obligations, with funds barred from supporting terrorism or destabilizing the region.
quote:Is this a bad thing? We blew all their nuke-building capability to hell and back and I assume if they ever get close again we'd blow it up again.
Nuclear: Iran reaffirms its NPT commitment to not produce nuclear weapons, but enrichment and uranium disposal are deferred.
quote:Good! I'd like to stay away from the affairs of the entire cursed region.
Sovereignty: The U.S. commits not to interfere in Iran’s internal affairs and to respect the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic.
quote:And? This is bad how?
60-day window: Final talks on nuclear, remaining sanctions, and UN/IAEA resolutions happen only after Iran implements its initial commitments.
Again, I'd really prefer a link to something official if you have one.

You might be mistaken.
Have you not seen how much Congress loves to spend our money? $300B is less than nothing to them.

How many threads like this are these idiots going to start today with the same topic and same stupid take?

Do you remember what a hissy fit the republicans had when Obama did this?

Do you honestly see the Saudi’s cutting the Iranians a $100B+ check. Surely you can’t be that stupid
Honestly, no, I'd bet good money the US will be on the hook for a large portion of that amount.
But I'm also tired of seeing 147 different versions of "the deal" depending on who's twitter account somebody decides to repost and push as the real thing. So I've decided to simply listen to what the actual principles say and assume that's the reality. If it's wrong, we'll know soon enough

I remember they were mad because he gave them straight cash with no strings attached. Is that what this is? Are WE giving them 300B for nothing, or are ME states putting it up contingent upon certain factors?
Again, ANYTHING official other than your interpretation of something you read on Twitter would be most appreciated.

Isn't this their money we froze?

The JCPOA funds were unfrozen assets
However, there was also the pallet of Swiss Francs or whatever that we flew over in the night that officially was for repayment of a bad arms deal but in reality was a ransom to get back hostages.

It sounds like some of it is US money funneled to Qatar destined for Iran.

The big number people cite was neither cash nor a US gift: roughly $50 billion in usable funds was Iran’s own money, frozen in foreign banks under sanctions, and it was only unfrozen after nuclear inspectors verified in January 2016 that Iran was curbing its nuclear program, which is the opposite of “no strings.” It was also a multilateral deal involving the UK, France, Germany, Russia, China, and the EU, so Obama didn’t carry out any part of it on his own The only actual cash was a separate $1.7 billion item: $400 million in principal Iran had paid before the 1979 revolution for military equipment it never received, plus $1.3 billion in interest, settled to resolve a decades-old dispute that the US was likely to lose at the Hague tribunal. So the “cash with no strings” line collapses on both halves: the $50 billion came with nuclear-compliance strings and wasn’t cash, and the cash was repayment of a genuine debt whose bad optics came from pallets and prisoner-release timing, not from being a giveaway.
