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.

THIS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA!!!!
I think this is part and parcel of what was going on with the mustache guy! I think Trump wants to play the Iranians, i.e. get them to a bargaining table and when they refuse to stop being terrorists, because that’s what they are, then go back and hit them even harder with sanctions or more.
There is either more to the equation, such as verification process of nuclear compliance or this is BS.
Calling BS here!
LOL!
GTFOOH
These guys should be winning all kinds of awards in fiction.
There’s no carrot for Iran, onky the stick...
Nope, I don’t believe this for a minute. You don’t deal in any shape, form or fashion with a country like Iran as long as the radicals are in charge......never trust them to do the right thing..........EVER!!!
Compliance with the current deal does ZERO to end the Mullah’s pursuit of nuclear weapons.
Under the current deal (it expires in 15 years), certain activities are sanctioned, but the gains of all previous activities, and “R&D” in those areas are not, as long as during the period of the deal they do not lead to new weapons.
THAT is why the current deal is 100% about the Mullahs getting their hands on western investment and revenue, to beef up their economy while the wait for the end of the period of the deal, and can than announce their fait acommpli.
I cannot believe Trump does not see that charade. And G-d help everyone if he does not see it.
We know every location of their military installations and have every ability to cripple Iran’s fighting abilities and yet we don’t.
It’s disappointing, I don’t like the idea of war, but of those who have gotten away with so many Americans being killed yet have been rewarded with patience and even deals from Obama and the globalists, Iran needs to be ground into dust.
Another prediction from the lame stream media that is built on bullish*t.
Well, 4 sources from the daily beast... that makes it official.
obama already gave them $150 billion with some skimmed to his account. If this credit line is true then A) what nuclear parts will the Iranians buy and B) Has Donald Trump gone insane?!
