Iran demands $300bn to end war
Source: The Telegraph
Tehran has demanded $300bn (£235bn) from the US to end the war in Iran and open up the Strait of Hormuz.
However, it will not give up control over the strategic waterway, according to a draft agreement published by Iranian state media.
The text emerged amid expectations that JD Vance, the US vice-president, would fly to Geneva to sign a deal before next week's G7 meeting in the French Alps.
The deal is understood to be a memorandum of understanding – effectively a promise to hold further negotiations rather than a finalized peace agreement.

(183,397 posts)trump is going to release to Iran more money than President Obama did
Should a desperate Donald Trump sign off on the latest deal with Iran that led him to call off a major attack late Thursday, he would suffer a "major humiliation" based on leaked details.

That is according to Insider editor Michael Weiss, who appeared on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe” on Friday morning and claimed that the president has come to the realization that he was duped into the whole endeavor.
Pointing out that the president has announced an imminent deal is at hand countless times, co-host Joe Scarborough asked, “Why do we keep hearing the same thing over and over and over again when the Iranians have rejected this deal time and again, and hardliners in America have rejected this deal?”
Weiss replied, “I mean, I just want to read you — Iran's Mehr News Agency put out their version of this deal. Now, again, underscore we ... don't know if this is going to be the memorandum of understanding. But in their version of the deal they get $300 billion in reconstruction money, $24 billion in a cash infusion, half of which will come before the negotiations begin.”
“Remember, this isn't a deal, this is an agreement to keep talking and an extension of a cease-fire. There's nothing new in here,” he elaborated. “Again, the Iranian version that talks about the missile program or financing or arming terrorist proxies like Lebanese Hezbollah.”

All because he wanted to be a tough guy and flex his military might. Plus we eat the increased prices for gas and groceries. And yet 1/3 of this country would eat a mile of his shit just to get closer to him.

Replenish our supply of rockets and repairs.
Repair our troops.
Repatriate our dead.
Dozens or hundreds of missiles, each a million dollars or more a piece.
Hey Elon, we'd like to DOGE your personal.wealth. That might actually pay for what your favorite president just spent.

Iran will want reparations for the war damage and a permanent transit tariff to use the Straight.

All else being equal, there's no way that this could happen, not with the murderous Netanyahu owning Trump and Republicans in general.

Early passes can be arranged in the near future!
Am I wrong in thinking history is repeating itself?
Republican presidents get the country into a financial hole, and the next Dem president gets to clean it up?

(12,840 posts)Please, the country currently suffering the most IS Iran as they can sell no oil with a blockade enforced.
Iran exports an average of 1.6 to 1.7 million barrels per day (b/d) of crude oil and condensate, generating between $30 billion and $50 billion in annual net export revenue.
Currently zero.
Direct GDP Contribution: Oil production generally constitutes about 23% of Iran's wealth output.
Government Revenue: Oil and gas revenues typically make up between 25% and 30% of the Iranian government's fiscal budget.
They are running out of storage room and will have to start shutting down wells, restarting their old wells is not always doable.
Iran is rapidly running out of both onshore and offshore oil storage space, with U.S. and industry officials estimating that its capacity is between 57% to 90% full. Because a U.S. naval blockade has prevented tankers from exporting crude, Tehran is expected to exhaust its remaining storage in a matter of days or weeks
Restarting old oil wells in Iran is an exceptionally difficult, slow, and expensive process. Because Iran’s fields are mature and suffer from historical underinvestment, a prolonged shutdown risks irreversible damage to the underground reservoirs, requiring billions of dollars to rehabilitate.
They can talk tough but will need a deal more then the US soon.
