Tehran has demanded $300bn (£235bn) from the US to end the war in Iran and open up the Strait of Hormuz.

However, it will not give up control over the strategic waterway, according to a draft agreement published by Iranian state media.

The text emerged amid expectations that JD Vance, the US vice-president, would fly to Geneva to sign a deal before next week's G7 meeting in the French Alps.

The deal is understood to be a memorandum of understanding – effectively a promise to hold further negotiations rather than a finalized peace agreement.

1. Hey! Donnie said it was almost over! Guess not.

[BaronChocula]

11. "They wanna end this war more than we do.

Maybe much more. Maybe more than you've ever seen someone wanting to end a war."

[ananda]

2. LOL. I'm sure sandbox Donnie will really go for that!

[onenote]

3. The GOP has frothed at the mouth over their claim that Obama gave Iran $1.7 billion

What will Trump claim to have gotten in return if he gives them 175 times that amount?

[KT2000]

5. Not even US funds

He allowed them to have access to $1.7 billion they were not allowed to access prior.

6. 'Utter humiliation' awaits Trump as details of latest Iran deal leak: expert

Should a desperate Donald Trump sign off on the latest deal with Iran that led him to call off a major attack late Thursday, he would suffer a “major humiliation” based on leaked details.

That is according to Insider editor Michael Weiss, who appeared on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe” on Friday morning and claimed that the president has come to the realization that he was duped into the whole endeavor.

Pointing out that the president has announced an imminent deal is at hand countless times, co-host Joe Scarborough asked, “Why do we keep hearing the same thing over and over and over again when the Iranians have rejected this deal time and again, and hardliners in America have rejected this deal?”

Weiss replied, “I mean, I just want to read you — Iran's Mehr News Agency put out their version of this deal. Now, again, underscore we ... don't know if this is going to be the memorandum of understanding. But in their version of the deal they get $300 billion in reconstruction money, $24 billion in a cash infusion, half of which will come before the negotiations begin.”

“Remember, this isn't a deal, this is an agreement to keep talking and an extension of a cease-fire. There's nothing new in here,” he elaborated. “Again, the Iranian version that talks about the missile program or financing or arming terrorist proxies like Lebanese Hezbollah.”

17. I stick to the prediction I've made all along. No way he sucks up the loss. There will be no deal.

7. So the taxpayers are on the hook for the billions that the war has already cost, the future

costs until he unentangles us from this fiasco, the billions to replenish all the weapons we used plus the billions to buy our way out. All because he wanted to be a tough guy and flex his military might. Plus we eat the increased prices for gas and groceries. And yet 1/3 of this country would eat a mile of his shit just to get closer to him.

[Festivito]

15. 300 B$ here, 300 B$ there, and soon you're talking big money.

Repay them for what we destroyed.
Replenish our supply of rockets and repairs.
Repair our troops.
Repatriate our dead.

Dozens or hundreds of missiles, each a million dollars or more a piece.

Hey Elon, we'd like to DOGE your personal.wealth. That might actually pay for what your favorite president just spent.

[Aussie105]

22. Oh, shoot!

Wait until the MAGA faithful find out how much this is going to cost them, and get a WORSE deal than the one Donnie broke because it was Obama's!

Iran will want reparations for the war damage and a permanent transit tariff to use the Straight.

8. LOL, The Art of the Deal

Even MFer isn't dumb enough to agree to those terms.

YOU HAVE NO CARDS, DOTARD MCDIPSHIT.

[MichMan]

9. Why is the UN allowing Iran to be in control of it if it is international waters?

[ashredux]

10. Don't forget folks he actually put two casinos into bankruptcy

That should’ve told you something right there

[SamuelAdams]

12. Tearing up the deal Obama signed with Iran is turning out to be extremely expensive.

[BootinUp]

14. According to the facts. Nt

[PatrickforB]

13. Well, there it is! The Art of the Deal! Gosh, didn't Trumpy do something really, really good for us! Gee...

I'm speechless.

[bluedigger]

16. I guess giving every Iranian a Trump phone and Trump bible is out.

This is going to be a difficult negotiation.

[Wonder Why]

18. If Biden were president, I'd say fight if congress approves. With Trump, have him pay out of his own pocket as he

is the perpetrator.

[Orrex]

19. $300B? Are they fucking kidding?

With that kind of money, we could fund 9 hours of the war.

All else being equal, there's no way that this could happen, not with the murderous Netanyahu owning Trump and Republicans in general.

[Dr. T]

20. Iran is playing Moron Don like a fiddle.

1. They're speaking to him in his own language: bribery.
2. I'd bet my paycheck that it ain't gonna' happen, at least now.

[delisen]

21. It is easy. Thiel & Musk donate 100 billion each

Trump family, Bezos, and cabinet members come up with another billion and we negotiate the rest,

Seems like the fairest solution

[Aussie105]

23. In response, Trump, Musk and others shout 'Not with my money! I will defend my wealth to the death!'

Country responds . . . so we can have your wealth when you pass?

Early passes can be arranged in the near future!

Am I wrong in thinking history is repeating itself?
Republican presidents get the country into a financial hole, and the next Dem president gets to clean it up?
