Vice President JD Vance has also confirmed that Tehran will get access to a $300 billion reconstruction fund if it meets certain conditions after denying the existence of any such fund just days earlier.

That the $300 billion for the fund will come from the Gulf Arab states and not the US is hardly reassuring given presidential son-in-law Jared Kushner’s well-documented ties to the region. We should keep an eye on Eric and Don Jr.’s interests in the fund as well—the elder Trump sons have a stake in a Kazakhstani mining company that just got $1.6 billion in federal backing from Washington.
