More: Vance was asked by CBS's Ed O'Keefe Monday morning about whether the rumored detail was true, and he said that it could be possible if Iran adheres to the agreement.

"That's the sort of thing they could have access to, funded by the Gulf coast coalition, so long as they honor their end of the obligation," Vance said. He noted that Iranian officials and media would be emphasizing the benefits they receive from the deal as opposed to what they concede.

"$300 billion in reconstruction funds"

Didn't we just spend this much to destroy them?

Madness.

Good.

These billions and billions of dollars will allow Iran to move from 95% to 100% coverage in their universal healthcare program, as enjoyed by the residents of Israel, Germany, Canada, Cuba, Greenland, Taiwan, tiny Albania, and in 2027, Mexico.

"Memnun!"

Trump Iran Deal Sparks Israel Outrage

... "Benjamin Netanyahu has staked his political future on his ironclad relationship with Donald Trump -- but that's become a liability now that the US president has cut a deal with Iran that much of Israel opposes," Bloomberg reports.

"Israel's longest-standing prime minister is preparing for an election this fall he'd hoped to clinch with the help of the man he's called the "best friend" his country's ever had in the White House.

Instead, Netanyahu must contend with an agreement that will leave the Islamic Republic intact, an unpalatable prospect to Israelis of all stripes."

"It's already cost him in opinion polls, where his support has slipped as the war that he began with Trump has dragged on with Israel achieving few of its strategic aims." ...

It won't be when we find out Trump somehow working in a way for portions of that money to be directed to himself and connected parties.

Billions of dollars for the victorious Persians who were cravenly snuck attacked, billions of dollars annually to the ingrateful Israelis, billions of dollars for the fat-cat oligarchs in the Trumpf Crime Family (TCF) like good-for-nothings Jared Kushner and Steve -------, and the Big Beautiful Bill for us.

And still no universal healthcare coverage for us in down-trodden Amerikkka.

6. Kickbacks from reconstruction expenses paid to US contractors that Iran can bleed from us?

How many Americans got wealthy building hugely in Iraq after the conflict ended, and not to US benefit?

After MURDERING the Supreme Leader and most of his Family in a Sucker Punch Attack We SHOULD be Paying them Reparations and ending all Sanctions.

The money should be Subtracted from what Israel gets to kill the Palestinians.

Or better yet, make Israel pay them directly in exchange for continued Alms from Uncle Sam.

That would provide Accountability for Israel provoking the War and would sure Piss off the Genocidal Officials in Israel.

A Twofer of Accountability for War Crimes.

Islam allows for Compensation of Victims if they Accept it.

The Islamic Republic should ask the citizens if this would be acceptable and the payments should go to the people directly injured by the Attacks.

That would be Just if acceptable to the injured parties.

I'm not sure "Madness" is the appropriate description.

I'm more in the camp of ~mental deterioration.~

But that's just me.

Two weeks ago, a MAGA was whining about Iran getting some of their funds back per the 2015 nuclear deal Trump 86'd because Obama's signature was on it.

At that time, Iran was limited to, and abiding by, terms that limited Iran's nuclear enrichment to 20%.

Thanks to Trump's 86-ing that deal in 2018, Iran enriched to 70%.

This current ceasefire returned us to a worse state than before Trump broke things with his war.

This is only a ceasefire, not a "deal" that does anything to improve the situation.
