We have got a "peace" deal: brokered by such good "friends" as Pakistan/Qatar: the first one with an Islamic bomb who "helped" us "very much" in anti-Jihad in Afghanistan [ISI], the second one -- the Goliath with 400B showering in soft power in US + working behind our backs striking deals with the Mullahcracy -- to give 300B for the Mullah regime. No wonder the only ones smiling is the Islamist side.
Yep, much more than Obama released! But hey, that is a critically important financial lifeline for the IRGC.
Red Meat to the Trumpers. Anonymous sources? Axios?
Must be lies.
It’s time to 25th amendment this bloviating clown.
Which one?
It’s time for FR posters to be called out on their lies and misstatements.
The $ being discussed are not US $, not Iran $ being held. They are investments that will be allowed from ME countries only after Iran lives up to all it’s responsibilities.
Even the Hill lays that out, while admitting that the details have not yet been published. Apparently since the details are not known some freepers think they have license to make up the details.

Trump wants to cool off the Iran problem, and lower the price of oil, until after election day.
But JD Vance, Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner are in favor of the Iran Deal
It may not be 300 billion U.S. dollars.
Maybe it is 300 billion Iranian rials.
It doesn’t matter. Iran won’t abide by it anyway.
Yep,
FR is in danger of pushing the good guys away and leaving the infiltrators to run it.
"Investments allowed"? Sure, they'll be "allowed", but why the hell would the Gulf states want to funnel $300 billion in investments to Iran, a feared/hated enemy? And if they really did think Iran was a good investment, they were perfectly free to make those investments before these attacks. So if they didn't do it then, why would they do it now?
And if it is just $300B being "allowed", then they'll be forbidden for making any investments in excess of that amount?? It's like we just pulled this number out of the air as an enticement to the Iranians but without any funding or plan behind it at all. Trump himself just said that he hasn't even discussed this fund with other countries in the region, so literally nobody has promised to find this $300B that clearly is one of the bigger "carrots" in the deal for Iran. It's basically guaranteeing that Iran won't follow through with its promises because we aren't going to follow through with ours.
Hey Ladies of the VIEW(FR)!
We must win the MID TERM election, at least the Senate.
The Choice is Trump v. Jeffries.
We have a chance now. How about we win the election. We can always go back, with improved targeting after the election.
To TRUE warmongers seeing Republicans wiped out is the true goal.
We may not even have control of Congress after the election. And if Trump was planning on letting the election influence his war strategy, then he shouldn't have been dragging his feet with useless ceasefires and negotiations that went nowhere for the last few months.
If this is true, then it’s the same policy as obama/biden:
— Iran gets all it wants.
— US gets nothing but empty promises.
— Israel gets hung out to dry.
If it’s not true, why hasn’t the WH said so and released the actual so-called “agreement”?
Is TNR a trash rag?
Thank you.
New Republic is Marxist agitprop.
Of course they have concerns, and no one trusts Iran.
The details of the deal are in how rails are put in place to ensure Iran’s compliance, and we do not yet know those details.
