Trump Says Deal ‘Not Final’ as Leaks Claim $300B Fund For Iran
“We’re not putting up ten cents.”
President Donald Trump dismissed “false” media claims that the U.S. will be party to a $300 billion fund for Iran, as leaked versions of the initial agreement allege that the regime will receive billions of dollars worth of “cash sweeteners” just to sign a “Memorandum of Understanding” (MoU) on Friday.
“President Donald Trump says the agreed deal with Iran is not final,” BBC reported Wednesday. “Speaking at the G7 summit in France, he adds that the US will “go back to dropping bombs” if he does not like the final agreement.”
The president also rejected the $300 billion fund claim, calling it “false.” “People can invest if they want. I mean, what am I going to do — say nobody’s ever allowed to invest? We’re not investing. We’re not putting up ten cents,” he told reporters.
The media speculation has been fueled by the administration’s refusal to release the document. News reports suggest that this has been done under pressure from Iran. According to the Jerusalem Post, “Iran demanded that the text of the MoU remain secret until the formal signing.”
Vice President JD Vance told CBS NEWS that the text of the MoU reached with Iran will be released “at the latest” by Friday. “We want to tell the American people what’s in this deal,” he assured.
Bloomberg released an unverified document saying the U.S. “undertakes, together with its regional partners, to create a comprehensive plan agreed upon by both parties for the rehabilitation and economic development” of Iran, “while ensuring financing of at least $300 billion.”
CNN alleged that “Tehran may be able to tap into a $300 billion development fund if it meets commitments related to its nuclear program in further negotiations.”
The leaked document published by Bloomberg said that the U.S. “commits to ending, on a schedule to be agreed upon as part of the final agreement, all types of sanctions currently facing the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
The U.S. “will not impose new sanctions on Iran or strengthen its forces in the region,” and “lift the naval blockade and prevent any interference or obstruction against” Iran, Bloomberg‘s document continued.
According to Bloomberg‘s version, once the initial agreement is signed on Friday, the U.S. will allow Iran to resume oil trading:
The United States undertakes that immediately after the signing of this Memorandum of Understanding, and until the date of the lifting of sanctions, the United States Treasury Department will issue waivers for exports of Iranian crude oil, petrochemical products and their derivatives, and all related services, including banking, insurance, transportation, and the like.
The $300 billion windfall will help Iran to replenish its depleted arsenal, the Jerusalem Post reported Wednesday:
The economic relief granted to Iran under the reported terms of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) would likely allow the Islamic regime to immediately reconstitute its military powers, according to an assessment published by the American think tank the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) on Tuesday.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, Esmail Baghaei, disclosed that the funds released under the agreement will be used to rebuild the regime’s military capabilities.

Iran, the world’s biggest state sponsor of terrorism, has also vowed to renew its support for its terrorist proxies across the region. The news of the deal has emboldened Iran-backed Hezbollah, with the terrorist group claiming “victory” over Israel despite devastating losses on the ground. The Guardian (UK) noted Monday that “Hezbollah welcomed the US-Iran deal.”

As usual the traitors in the media are trying to sabotage
Friday can’t come soon enough. I bet they’ll release the deal detail after 5pm. I hope to be pleasantly surprised. However I suspect I won’t be.
All indications are that both Israel and the US were better off before the US got offensively involved. We lost some lives, burned through a lot of money, and incurred some damage. Israel lost potentially some degrees of freedom.
The Islamo-Marxist coalition is at it again.
Whether the money comes from the U.S. or the UAE and other Arab states is irrelevant, as is the claim that the funds will only be used for “humanitarian” purposes — the bottom line is that the unrepentant and brazenly belligerent, deceitful and fanatical Iranian Islamofascist/terrorist regime is being enriched, undeservedly and foolishly, and, just as with Obama’s wretched, farcical, incompetent and treasonous JCPOA “deal,” the regime will be able to divert oil revenue funds to spend on nuclear weapons development and on arming its sundry Muslim terrorist group proxies, such as Hezb’allah.
The indefensible naivete memorialized by this worthless and toothless “agreement,” is difficult to believe.
It’s as though not a single person in #47’s administration from POTUS on down (excepting Rubio, Radcliffe, Hegseth and Bessent, notably), has witnessed nearly 50 years of the Iranian Islamofascist/terrorist regime’s greasy, persistent and unrepentant mendacity, deceit, perfidy, belligerence and bad faith words and deeds.
It’s as though not a single person in the Administration is aware of the Islamic doctrine of taqiyya, which allows and encourages Muslims to lie to and to deceive non-Muslim “infidels,” for Muslim self-preservation and tactical advantage.
This “deal” is worse than Obama’s treasonous capitulation, appeasement and money-gifting (“JCPOA”), because it’s made by people who know better, and who had Iran on the ropes, militarily and tactically, but were unable to go scorched earth, Sherman-style, and do what needed to be done to put this evil regime into the ground, permanently, because of their short-term concern with stock markets, oil markets and the congressional midterm elections. And, the Iranian regime exploited that self-constrained attitude, fully.
Including Iran’s terrorist proxy in Lebanon — Hezb’allah — in this “deal,” is offensive and farcical, and mercifully, the Israelis are not naive or stupid and aren’t going to bind themselves and restrain themseves from defending their people and territory from incessant Muslim terrorist attacks emanating from Lebanon .
I have praised #47 for his many laudable actions and policies taken during his first term, and now, throughout his second term, but this “deal” is not one of them, and he fairly deserves massive criticism for it.
We really don’t know the deal yet, Let’s wait till Friday,
Of course you could make an argument that we should never make a deal with Iran while they are essentially a theocracy. I think that is a perfectly acceptable possible to take. As for myself I would say I’m 90% in favor of that position and 10% if favor of a deal but only if I could dictate the terms of the deal.
Yeah; that’s precisely my point — there is no purpose in negotiating a “deal” or “treaty” or “agreement” with the Iranian regime, at all, because you’re unavoidably dealing with the devil, and he can’t be trusted.
The terms of the “deal,” as stated, are thus intrinsically irrelevant and worthless. This exercise is as predictably futile and farcical as Obama’s JCPOA “deal.” The greasy Iranians are running out the cock on #47’s term, hoping that a Dhimmi-crat president is elected in 2028, and if that doesn’t happen, then either POTUS Vance or Rubio will be forced to deal with them, again.
“running out the *clock* on #47’s term”
I wouldn’t be quite so dismissive of the “short term concerns”. Iran isn’t the only enemy Trump is fighting. His biggest enemy is the left. The democrat party, which includes the media, have decided the USA needs to be fundamentally transformed and if they can’t be in control, they will burn this country to the ground.
I’m not being “dismissive” of those concerns — stock market reactions and mid-term elections are important, but, so are long-term strategic and national security considerations.
The Wuhan virus-caused market crash resulted in a recovery, a mere three months later; the fastest such recovery in market history.
Here, #47 had the Iranian regime on the ropes and Kharg Island and their financial/oil & gas infrastructure by the balls. We could have blockaded Kharg Island, or destroyed its facilities — we didn’t do that, because #47 was afraid of the stock and commodities markets’ reactions.
The oil markets and stock markets would have been shocked, but, they would have recovered, after the news, as they always do. See the Wuhan virus market shock — the market recovered from its low point, in a record-breaking three months. And, destroying Kharg Island would have been far less shocking to the markets than Wuhan virus’s onset.
Until and unless the Islamic Republic has been removed from Persia, no deal will be abided by.
In short, all the Internet International Negotiators are happy hammering out “Trump lost!!!” posts without seeing one letter of the agreement, and they’ll continue it even after the agreement is made final.
In short, something like 40billion in Iranian assets were frozen. They’ll be unfroze as Iran takes the appropriate steps in the agreement. The surrounding gulf states have agreed to a 300billion rebuilding program involving a lot of Iranian oil revenue, as Iran takes the appropriate steps in the agreement.
Not one dime of US money is going to pay for this, despite the screeching from the Left. Part of the agreement is Iran coughs up the uranium. They don’t cough, they don’t get anything in the agreement. Part of the agreement is Iran stops financing terrorists. Yes, we know they’ll just work around that through proxies and Dem charities, but…
Good summary?
No. Only the first paragraph is good. The rest is supposition.
Let me point out that the US has already paid out tens of billions in the form of munitions being dropped on Iran and oil used for planes and ships. I imagine all the military involved also received hazardous duty pay or whatever they call it. The US consumer has also paid out billions in the form of higher prices. Of course none of the money paid out went directly to Iran. Probably.
Who negotiated this deal, Pelosi?
“We have to sign it first before we can see what’s in it?”
I’m betting there was no deal but they were under pressure to announce it so they did. They thought they could work out the details in a week,
At least the burka covered her face.
IMO this MOU to set up another 60 days of further ‘negotiations’ is a political ruse. The Trump Admin went in hot in early Spring then got cold feet when it became clear to the naive among it that further use of force would have to be directed at dams, water purification, irrigation, electricity plants and oil infrastructure (at least export infrastructure) to bring the regime to heel, which in turn would mean:
1. Prolonged conflict through the midterms
2. The usual ‘America is a Bully/bad guy’ news cycle on loop from corporate media too lazy or ideologically captured to report accurately
3. Lots of population die off in Iran. No electricity means hospitals don’t function, refrigeration doesn’t work, AC is off so the weakest among it; infants/elderly and sickest would die as a consequence
4. Continued missile and asymmetric attacks on our regional partners and on US facilities/ships/aircraft
Then we come to the elephant; oil prices. Th reason oil prices didn’t spike much above $100 per barrel is Asian markets bought heavily in advance and had a good supply on hand, Venezuelan crude to market, more domestic US pumping and very important the ‘slack’ in the oil market supply system of small supplies on hand here and there in spots which has been nearly burned through. Another month of no oil out of Hormuz and oil jumps … some predictions are $150 per barrel practically overnight.
In retrospect, Trump’s hesitation or lack of ruthlessness to prosecute this conflict decisively and quickly to bring the Iranian regime to heel allowed him to be maneuvered into a short ‘cease-fire’ that extended basically since April for major strikes. The promised/threatened attack on infrastructure didn’t arrive. The delay meant burning through the ‘cushion’ keeping oil price manageable at no more than a $100 or so. It also pushed any resumption of large attacks into summer, coinciding with USA 250 and against the backdrop of midterm elections.
So IMO what’s happening is this MOU is a bandaid to get through the midterms. It allows the Trump Admin to argue they have made every effort to resolve things without ‘civilization ending’ large scale attacks. If the Iranian regime doesn’t abide (they won’t) by the terms or use the 60 days to negotiate in good faith I suspect post midterms is gonna be lit in Iran. Hopefully the Iranian regime understands that their little bad faith two step dance routine won’t work past the midterms.
So where is the alleged 300 billion coming from?
The UAE and other wealthy Arab Gulf states, I think. It’s a “protection” bribe, pure and simple.
