Why would “regional partners” fork up billions if Iran bombed them?

MOU # 6 says
The United States of America undertakes with regional partners to develop…
I see a lot of posts assuming this is the Gulf states but it’s important to note the vagueness of this line. The agreement is between the US and Iran : which means to Saudi , Oman, Jordan , UAE, Bahrain are not bound to this agreement is any way.
I guess I get the regionally stability argument to some degree but these countries were bombed by Iran and had billions in facilities damaged, now they are expected to pay Iran to stop bombing them?
That’s like getting punch in the face by a bully at school and giving him your lunch money so he won’t do it again. That’s surrender but maybe they are desperate to keep moving their fuel.
Can anyone explain why the gulf states would pay Iran for damages inflicted on their industries facilities?
Is this cheaper than the strait remaining closed and paying Iran tolls? Iran is still getting paid, just in a different way.
Nothing in the deal obligates any of the gulf states to contribute a dime so I don’t understand how some are surmising the gulf states will provide 100% of the “300 billions dollar plan”.
Essentially they pay Iran and have to rebuild their infrastructure on top of the Iran payments.

The United States of America undertakes with regional partners to develop a definitive, mutually agreed plan with at least USD 300 billion for the reconstruction and economic development of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The mechanism for the implementation of this plan will be finalized as part of a final deal within 60 days. All required licenses, waivers and permissions needed for the relevant financial transactions will be granted by the United States of America.

Because the government has shown when you give entitlements to people, you enslave them and they are more loyal than German Shepherds. Oh never mind, that’s the chimps

Because iran has demonstrated that we can’t stop their missiles and drones from hitting Middle Eastern countries.
Leaders in the Middle East want control and stability. If they need to lean on someone, they’ll do it. If they need to pay someone off, they’ll do it.
Either will work.

This is just dumb.

I would try to explain it to you and it’s really not that complicated but if you haven’t figured it out yet then I don’t think you’re able to understand it.
That’s as much time as I’m going to spend on it.

Would you feel better about this if it was done in BRICS money?

Why did "regional partners" close their airspace at times and ask for a deal with Iran to be made?
Posted on 6/18/26 at 7:08 am to Bison
Because right or wrong they all think that the new regime is more friendly to the US.
Remember Venezuela?
Everything being said now was said back then.
They needed time to purge the extremists in their country.
That one worked.

Maybe they realize the potential of positive development and the continued demise of the religious zealots. The entire ME benefits from an Iran that is behaving. The Iranian people will respond with tremendous energy and labor for a prosperous Iran.

You can't possibly be comparing this to Venezuela.

I think the line of reasoning in your post is largely on track.
I think the Trump administration believes this regime will foster a more mainstream and cooperative Iran.
Something along those lines is happening and that’s why they are getting the help.

Dude????? The Madro guys were complete clowns. The IRGC are serious assholes. They actually believe in what they believe.....and they are corrupt
You can't do a snatch and leave with these guys and think an ethically challenged underling would come in and do business like Delcy Rodriguez

So close to figuring out how the language of 300 billion number and how it is to be raised and then fall into the OMB. You are right about nothing is certain about neighbors forking over money and that’s the rub. It’s just a statement as nobody would put money in on the front side before a different outlook in Iran happens. While China will undoubtedly seek oil and Iran gets cash it will also buy military toys as well as finance support for proxies again. This peace deal is just another process needed to happen for regional parties as well as Americans

The whole thing is based on Iran’s National ethos being based on prosperity instead of Jihad. When the women abandon their burquas, and Hezbollah hits Israel, then the IRGC rulers will have a choice. Continue prosperity or become legitimate targets for assassinations.
Time is not in the Jihadists side. Even the ME is tired of that crap.
