[The U.S. Government Proposes Renaming Compensation to Iran as 'Investment Fund' to Bypass Trump's Political Red Line] BlockBeats News, May 30: A provision in the draft U.S.-Iran war peace agreement involving a $300 billion fund for Iran's reconstruction has drawn significant attention. To avoid triggering domestic backlash in the U.S., the draft deliberately avoids terms like 'compensation' or 'reparations,' instead opting for the phrase 'international investment fund.' The political logic behind this is both straightforward and sharp: Trump spent a decade attacking the Obama administration's $400 million payment to Iran as 'treason' and 'ransom.' Signing a billion-dollar agreement labeled as 'war reparations' would be tantamount to handing his political opponents and base the very weapon to attack him. Trump has privately informed his aides that he will not sign any agreement that appears to involve the U.S. directly paying Iran and has stated on social media that 'there will be no exchange of funds until further notice.' The concept of the investment fund originated from Trump's Middle East envoy, Brian Hook, and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner—both of whom are real estate investors. Their initial proposal was to use Tehran real estate development and investment mechanisms as incentives for reconciliation. This idea was later adopted and expanded by the Iranian side into a framework allowing U.S. energy giants to enter the Iranian market through joint ventures, thus giving the fund a veneer of commercial logic.
