Trump's $300 Billion Iran Plan: Who Is Going to Pay?

Описание: Who will pay Iran’s $300 billion bill? Trump’s mega reconstruction deal raises big questions for Gulf nations .
Trump’s Iran peace deal promises a $300 billion reconstruction fund, but no clear payer has emerged yet. The US says American taxpayers will not fund it, shifting focus to wealthy Gulf states.
Will the Gulf pay? Gulf countries, divided over Iran in the aftermath of the war, have not confirmed they would invest in the scheme to rebuild their powerful neighbour -- which has sought war reparations from the United States.
Iran desperately needs the funds, "so the hope is that the potential of greater investment longer term will help with further de-escalation", Jacobs said.
The UAE, which bore the brunt of Iran's attacks, had repeatedly demanded Tehran pay reparations for the damage it caused -- though it softened its tone in the weeks prior to the deal.
The UAE was also one of US-sanctioned Iran's main trading partners, at least before the war.
Investing in Iran's economy could provide leverage for the Gulf -- but it would need guarantees that the funds would not be used to rearm Tehran and its proxies
