Donald Trump responded to discussions about the agreement reached between Iran and the US in a post on his social media account. Trump stated, "There is no question of the US paying $300 billion to Iran," dismissing the claim as fake news.
On June 14, Iran and the US announced that they had reached a 14-point agreement aimed at stopping the war and resolving issues between the parties through negotiations, as part of a negotiation process mediated by Pakistan.
The agreement, called the "Islamabad Agreement," was digitally signed and enacted overnight by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and US President Donald Trump. The text included provisions such as ending the war including in Lebanon, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and lifting the US naval blockade on Iran.
Following the signing of the agreement, the parties are expected to begin a 60-day negotiation process to reach a final deal on issues such as Iran's nuclear program and the lifting of sanctions. Article 6 of the text mentioned a plan worth at least $300 billion for Iran's reconstruction and economic development.
After this statement, debates arose regarding how and by whom the money would be paid.
