President Donald Trump has left the impression with foreign officials, members of his administration, and others involved in Iranian negotiations that he is actively considering a French plan to extend a $15 billion credit line to the Iranians if Tehran comes back into compliance with the Obama-era nuclear deal.
Trump has in recent weeks shown openness to entertaining President Emmanuel Macrons plan, according to four sources with knowledge of Trumps conversations with the French leader. Two of those sources said that State Department officials, including Secretary Mike Pompeo, are also open to weighing the French proposal, in which the Paris government would effectively ease the economic sanctions regime that the Trump administration has applied on Tehran for more than a year.
The deal put forward by France would compensate Iran for oil sales disrupted by American sanctions. A large portion of Irans economy relies on cash from oil sales. Most of that money is frozen in bank accounts across the globe. The $15 billion credit line would be guaranteed by Iranian oil. In exchange for the cash, Iran would have to come back into compliance with the nuclear accord it signed with the worlds major powers in 2015. Tehran would also have to agree not to threaten the security of the Persian Gulf or to impede maritime navigation in the area. Lastly, Tehran would have to commit to regional Middle East talks in the future.

or Raw Story
It’s just political theater.
You offer something they won’t comply to, then you can state you tried and were reasonable.
Fake news
When Trump speaks with the Iranian boss at the UN, Trump will look him in the eye, tell him to get out of Yemen, Syria, Lebanon and Gaza and cease his Nuclear bomb development. Then looking him squarely in the eye, will say.....if you don’t I’ll kill you
The process is personal diplomacy
France has added the following provisions: Tehran would also have to agree not to threaten the security of the Persian Gulf or to impede maritime navigation in the area. Lastly, Tehran would have to commit to regional Middle East talks in the future.
I would expect that President Trump would have additional provisions that Tehran would have to agree to, including real inspections, before he is on-board.
#ArtOfTheDeal
When we beat the Iranians, and we will in some shape or form, I want to know where the hundred and fifty billion dollars is hidden as you know it is not spent and it did not go to the people therefore it is sitting in some Vault somewhere. I can’t wait for the announcement in the future were President Trump says we recovered that money.
Remain calm. This could easily be a bit of disinformation put out by the Bolton camp.
How about no? Iranian people need to rid themselves of the old men running the place and get back to Westernization like the Shah
Do you know how many tomahawk missiles you can buy for 15 billion? Trump does..
This would be no different than Barrys bribe. No way Trump would do this unless Iran rolls over on every demand Trump has made of them.
“Whats with the sexual reference?”
Writer’s today are taught to use the most exotic verb they can find, so they do a Google search and pick the most provocative one. It’s annoying.
Well, the mullahs can dream...
This sounds much better than the deal Obama cut. /s
“considers” works best, but when your constructing a sensational lie, “flirts” would be the right choice for a keyboard stroking loser.
So, give the Islamic pukes exactly what they want. Thats the plan?
These losers can’t even formulate plausible Fake News.
So let’s get this straight. Impose sanctions to dry up the money, then jump in and bail them out. Oh, that sounds like something The Donald would do....NOT. Sounds like something he’d ridicule.
Will the $15 Billion include pallets of hard currency cash? After all the mullah’s goons and thugs demand hard currency to do their nasty work.
Or a bone for the media....
Or both
Simply destroy their nuke facilities. Game over.
that and negative interest rates. What is happening to Trump?
