With that in mind, it is beyond absurd that anyone in the U. S. would ever believe Iranian state media when they reported that the Trump administration agreed to a provide Iran with $300 billion to rebuild their country. And yet:
Meanwhile:
Yes, people, by all means, do that. But also, let’s actually listen to the people in the administration who are making the deal, like Vice President Vance.
Vance refuted the reports during an appearance on CBS News on Monday. He clarified that the reconstruction fund would be financed by a coalition of Gulf countries, rather than American taxpayers. He also stressed that any assistance would depend on Iran fulfilling its commitments, which include ending its nuclear program, surrendering its stockpile of enriched uranium, and accepting nuclear inspections. “The Iranians are saying that they’re going to have access to a $300 billion reconstruction fund,” CBS’ Ed O’Keefe said. “True or false?” “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,” Vance replied. “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 then made it crystal clear where the money would come from.
“So we absolutely are open to the Gulf Coast countries investing in the reconstruction of Iran, but only if Iran ends their nuclear program, ends their enriched stockpile of material, and is really open to an inspection and enforcement regime that gives the American people confidence they’re never going to have a nuclear weapon,” he continued. (my emphasis) “So I think the dance you’re going to see, Ed, which is going to be interesting, is the Iranian media, especially the hardline media, they’re going to talk a lot about what they get without talking about what they give. It’s important for all of us to correct that record,” Vance added. Meanwhile, only Democrats are upset about this deal, because of course they are – including Temu Obama:
The America Last party. Always.
That said, if you’re an American who have heard Vance’s explanation and still believe that U. S. taxpayers are handing Iran $300 billion, go see a psychiatrist ASAP. You’re in Stage 4 Trump Derangement Syndrome and need emergency intervention.
