MAGA, A for AIRAN.

> “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..."

How does that differ from "is theoretically possible, if a whole bunch of people who pretty much hate them decide to give them $billions anyway"?

All of this goes to show just how good of a deal the JCPOA was. It took 20 months to negotiate, it had everything the US had ever asked Iran to cooperate on, and Iran was not only cooperating but on a path away from extremism.

It was blown up out of pure spite, jealousy, and meddling from Netanyahu.

Right now, it looks like we're looking at a deal that is significantly worse in every conceivable way.

The side paying reparations is the side that lost the war.

That's usually true. And yet... after WWII, the US paid a lot of money to rebuild Germany and Japan.

Do I think that's what's going on here? No, I don't. Nor do I think that the money is real. (If it is, it sounds like it's coming from the Gulf states - essentially "please stop blowing us up" money.)

A third of it is probably frozen assets [1].

Article makes some distinction, though the $25MM number doesn't match your link.

> 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.

I’m wildly speculating that the amount of funds unfrozen will be higher. (I’ll add to that speculation by guessing some fraction of it will wind up with Trump, Kushner and Witkoff.)

That's roughly the same amount US has given Israel since 1948.

Probably not directly comparable, mind you, but still a funny coincidence.

The governments of Germany and Japan were completely destroyed, their nations were then occupied and then rebuilt to be friendly to the US and other Western nations to fight against communism.

But here, Iran's government has not been overthrown nor their nation occupied.
