Will Trump try to pay them with crypto?
Wait until you see how much Cuba is going to cost.
The Shart of the Deal.
Steaks?
Vance’s admission contradicts what he said on Friday, when he claimed in an X post that Iran would not be “receiving any cash, and no funds are being released simply for signing a deal or attending a meeting.” In addition to the U.S. and its allies paying $300 billion in reconstruction funds, Iran reports that the U.S. has agreed to release $25 billion in frozen Iranian assets.
As they should. The US owes them reparations.
It will go from out of the pockets of the US working class, into the pockets of the politicians who serve the US ruling class and the into the hands of the government of Iran who will promise to serve the interests of the US ruling class.
This isn’t progress for the workers of the world. This is the US ruling class trying to secure their economic position in the region, and the working class in the US and abroad will pay - it might not be felt immediately, but every advance of US imperialism means the lowering of the quality of life for all working class people.
We need to unite as a class internationally.
So now can we call it? The american empire is done, please just lets call it.
Remember when those cocksuckers complained about democrats giving Iran their own money back in exchange for a nuclear agreement? Now we’re giving them half a trillion just so they’ll go back to the status quo from a year ago?
Remember when they illegally sold weapons to Iran so they could illegally fund Contras in Central America?
We raped Iran, and then paid them off to shut them up. Yep, Trump definitely negotiated this.
Art of the deal, indeed.
When do I get a refund for all the extra money I paid for fuel over the past few months? My job involves driving - I've put about 5,000 miles on my car since the beginning of April - so I'm definitely noticing the difference.
If you drive for work and pay for your own gas too you’re also getting fucked. We all are but like, that’s extra fucked. I really hope you get paid a whole lot, enough to offset that cost, it seems backwards to drive for work AND pay for the gas.
US citizens serving on the home front during WWII sacrificed all sorts of basic foods and materials, all to help the war effort and, you know, defeat the spread of fascism. Today, we paid out the ass to fill our cars up at the pump for months, just so we could drive to work. And all so Trump could accomplish…nothing. Absolutely fucking nothing. He fucked with the stock market for a bit, and then capitulated like the fat fucking bitch that he is. And the people who support him, probably the people most affected by all of this bullshit, will still support him.
It's nice to know they were able to spend my tax dollars rebuilding Iran after they spent my tax dollars destroying Iran. I'm very happy the prices on everything went up so they could do that.
Looks like the Gulf petrostates will fund it
For fucks sake, why the fuck does anyone believe this will hold until its supposed to be signed on Friday
Dump has always been a terrible business man. He's a leech.
How much has this cost the USA? How much would NHS style healthcare cost?
A fraction of what your regular military budget is. Hell, a fraction of what the government already pays for healthcare.
Less than what taxpayers have paid directly to Trump organizations I'd imagine

And Iran thinks he will pay? Lol a Trump never pays his debts.
He never pays with his money, this isn't his money and if gas prices go down a fairly large percentage of americans will say "we kicked Iran's ass".
That's a good idea! Trump should get a loan to pay that himself. Maybe a 50year loan? A Wargage! It's a mortgage for wars. Let's say you can't pay right now, but you would really like to get rid of some country. You get a Wargage and just pay the minimum for 50 years! Get your family members into it to help you and you could own a war in no time! We just need a billion down payment and some collateral.

Hm, so the teabaggers kept going on and on (and on) about Obama's deal and now DonOLD is talking about 300 billion in reparations?
Unfortunately they won't care about the $300 billion at all, because it'll never appear on Fox News or their safe spaces on social media. At most they've already signaled it will be completely lied about as an "investment fund" that will imply some value in return without promising, follow-up or accountability.

Interesting that Vance is finally in the news now that he said he wants to run for president...
Vice President JD Vance all but confirmed a detail being floated as part of the tentative U.S.-Iran peace deal: Iranian access to $300 billion in reconstruction funds.
“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.
And ~~Mexico~~ the Gulf coast will pay for it!
