I assumed we were just going to get taxed for it, or they'd pull it from some other places that actually needs the funds. Alternatively, they could just increase the military budget by 300 billion (or more). | | |
| ▲ | sejje 8 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | My understanding was that the US green-lighted a 300-billion investment from neighboring countries to rebuild. | | |
| ▲ | burkaman 8 hours ago | parent [-] | | Nobody outside the administration knows what the US has greenlit, and a detailed peace agreement likely doesn't exist yet. |

| ▲ | morkalork 8 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | It's a good measure of scale. The USA is paying Iran an amount that is 1/3rd of its military budget in reparations because they "won". | | |
| ▲ | throwawaypath 8 hours ago | parent [-] | | No, that was fake news. The 300 billion dollars isn't coming from the US. | | |
| ▲ | amanaplanacanal 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | How would you even know that? We haven't seen the agreement yet. | | |
| ▲ | throwawaypath 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | >We haven't seen the agreement yet. Which why the $300 million claim is fake news. | | |
| ▲ | amanaplanacanal 6 hours ago | parent [-] | | That 300 billion number came from JD Vance. Do you think he lied, or what? | | |
| ▲ | throwawaypath 5 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | >That 300 billion number came from JD Vance. No it didn't, that is fake news. Please provide an unbiased source where JD Vance claims the US will be paying Iran $300 billion. | | |

O'Keefe began. "Well, Ed, 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. I think that one of the things you're going to see, Ed—and people have to be skeptical of this—is that the hardliners in the Iranian system will overemphasize the benefits that Iran gets, while underemphasizing all the things that they have to concede and all the things they have to provide in order to get these benefits," Vance replied. NBC news. He said the "Gulf Coast coalition", but it's unclear exactly who is going to be paying into that. | | |
| ▲ | throwawaypath 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | Thank you for confirming it was fake news. He did not state that the US was going to give Iran $300 billion. |

| ▲ | Jtsummers 8 hours ago | parent [-] | | That's only part of it, the US and allies are reportedly going to set up a $300 billion fund for Iran, the particular terms of accessing it aren't clear at this point. GP is correct in that the US is not putting up $300 billion, but it will be putting up part of that money. The US fought and lost a war and Iran comes out ahead, and the US and its allies come out worse and poorer. | | |
