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!"

... "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.~

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.

So the cost of Trimp tearing up the deal made by Obama is the $100 billion we spent bombing and blockading them plus another $300 billion to pay for the damage Trump's unnecessary and unprovoked war cost! Wow! MAGAs ought to pay for it!

Nothing screams "I lost a war" more than $300 Billion in reparations for the enemy.

Now that MAGA has dealt with Iran, it can go back to handling the existential crisis of Sharia Law in Texas.

#19 | Posted by Zed at 2026-06-17 07:47 AM | Reply | Funny: 3

So, basically the Republican administration is massively subsidizing a country to enforce Sharia Law on its people while Republicans here combat Sharia Law in the home of the brave and the land of the free.

Got it.

They Should be paying them.

It was Illegal Aggression.

Frankly, it should be more and sanctions completely lifted immediately.

Iran was minding it's own business and got attacked in a Perfidious and Evil way.

This Can not be repeated enough.

Why is the Moral aspect of this war being ignored?

Coriolanus it is so ironic about Republicans being so afraid of Sharia Law when it does to women basic the same things Conservative Christianity does.

But the attack on Iran wasn't a response to anything they were doing. It was an attempt to discredit Obama and the deal he, along with other leaders, had gotten Iran's leaders to agree to and that was still working fine which Trump just couldn't allow because it. Showed Obama to be a much better leader and "DEALMAKER than Trump and so he had go tear it up! And risk all progress made rather than admit Obama's agreement was still bworking and it didn't require dropping all those bombs and missiles or $300 billion dollars in reparations!
Donald Trump disgraced himself so badly that he should just resign!

Iran has been under bombardment for over a year because of what they did with Hamas and Hezbollah, and what Hamas did to Israel.

It didn't work. Natanz underground facilities. They set themselves up to make nukes in an emergency. Turns out they didn't need them, just drones, missiles, and binoculars.

Republicans, remember: You asked for this.

Given the choice between a dozen solid conservatives and one Clinton-supporting con-artist and game-show host, you chose the con artist.

You chose him freely. Nobody made you do it.

Literally paying for Hamas and Hezbollah and Houthis to reinforce. Iran promises they won't give them, nor Shia militias in Iraq, more weapons like they just did for the past 20 years. They pinky swear.

Don't feel bad, America.

"The Treaty of Versailles and the 1921 London Schedule of Payments set Germany's total liability at 132 billion gold marks, equivalent to approximately $33 billion at the time (roughly $605 billion in 2025 dollars)"

So you see, three hundred billion is only half the humbling amount that Germany had to pay after The Great War, sinking that country into an economic depression and giving rise to Hitler.

Oh I get it. Sinking our country into an economic depression and giving rise to Hitler was Trump's plan all along!
