Vance just admitted we are paying Iran $300 BILLION in reparations.

Vance just admitted we are paying Iran 0 BILLION in reparations.

After losing the First World War, Germany paid US billion (22 billion gold marks) in contemporary currency. Adjusted for inflation, that was still only around -95 billion in today's dollars.

they claim that's Iran's money which was frozen. I do not believe that. Tell me I'm wrong.

If that is the US citizen's taxpayer money now we know why they are cutting services and programs, especially affordable healthcare subsides.

Only $2B of that is held in the US. snd only half the total amount is uncommitted funds.

Trump wants OTHER countries in the Gulf region - Arab nations - to pay for what he and Israel unnecessarily destroyed. Not the U.S. Not Israel.

600 schools and nearly 200 medical facilities alone have been damaged or destroyed. For starters.

Sound fair?

Profited billions, and we are going to give a dangerous military government $300 billion? Sounds like a typical Dump catastrophe.

Trump caved. Simple as that.



Jürgen Nauditt 🇩🇪🇺🇦 @jurgen_nauditt

Trump—the biggest liar in American history—won't be able to spin this humiliation as a victory, even to his brainwashed MAGA idiots.

Trump has agreed to Iran's terms and achieved nothing—absolutely nothing.

The US has agreed to a peace deal with Iran; Donald Trump announced this early Monday morning. The details were subsequently released by the Iranian news agency Mehr.
So, nothing is final yet.

Essentially, Trump has caved to the Islamic Republic: The US commits not only to ending the war against Iran, lifting the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, withdrawing troops from the region, and ceasing interference in Iranian affairs, but also to lifting all sanctions, releasing frozen assets, and even paying reparations amounting to at least $300 billion. The US failed to make any progress on the core issue of nuclear weapons; that topic is to be addressed separately. Iran merely gave a formal pledge not to develop such weapons—a promise the country had already made before the outbreak of the war.

Applegrove: Vance looks like he is holding the bag while Marco can run against the Iran deal in 2028.

He has simply surrendered to Iran to get the strait back open. Iran has kicked his ass, full stop.

How the fuck do we have 0 billion to rebuild Iran after we spent billion bombing it, when we don’t “have the money” for pediatric cancer research?
