Vice President JD Vance discusses a potential $300 billion fund for Iran's reconstruction, contingent on Iran meeting nuclear obligations, with funding from Gulf states, not US taxpayers

‘That’s the sort of thing they could have access to, funded by the Gulf Coast Coalition, so long as they honour their end of the obligation.’

    The major aggressors was Israel and the USA they should be the one paying the largest amount of money to Iran . The gulf keep paying for destruction made by the usa and israel is a disgrace

      I have a feeling this might be saving face maneuvre. If anyone is paying reparations at all, that’s a sign of capitulation. In other words there’s no other choice. I doubt the Gulf wanted to do this after everything that happened over the last couple of months. I’m suspecting this could even be a scheme to hide the money coming from the US.

      These states were made rich by the US and the petrodollar so there is an interdependence which explains their choice here. Kudos to the UAE for leaving OPEC.
