The two sources put the fund at $300 billion, though other officials involved in mediation would not confirm the amount, according to the report.

Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, who will "restore" Iran by building Trump-branded hotels and resorts, and will profit mightily. There are some very nice beaches on the Caspian Sea just north of Tehran.

Israel, the oil companies, the RNC, Trump family.

Congress didn't approve this war, the American people and democrats in Congress opposed it. No US tax dollars should pay for the Trump-Israel vs Iran war.

And, Trump, the RNC, Oil Co's and Israel should pay to rebuild the US weapons stockpile as well.

Trump's board of Peace is bankrupted already. Otherwise they should be chipping in as well.

The "board of Peace" has never received any deposits into the account set up for it. Just yesterday or the day before, it was revealed that they claim that there are deposits, but only in a secret account they refuse to identify. Really. I kid you not.
