Trump's truce deal 'includes £223billion for Iran' as staggering details emerge
The deal between the US and Iran would see Washington forced to secure at least 300 billion dollars (£223 billion) to rebuild Iran after the war, which began with US-Israeli strikes on Tehran on February 28
The US will reportedly need to pay $300 billion (or £223bn) towards rebuild Iran under the terms of Donald Trump's new deal with Tehran.
The deal, which would also see the Strait of Hormuz fully reopened, is due to be formally signed in a ceremony in Switzerland on Friday but it is understood to have already been agreed to. "The deal’s all signed. And the strait is already partially opened," Trump announced as he arrived at the G7 summit in France on Monday.
The agreement would also man an end to all American and United Nations sanctions imposed on Tehran as long as a final agreement addressing Iran's nuclear programme is reached.
Leaked copies of an interim agreement, which officials say broadly matches the document, give details of what will be included in the deal to end the war.
Iran will also be allowed to sell its oil without restrictions as part of the deal. This free sale of oil along with the offer to eventually lift all sanctions goes further than the 2015 Iran nuclear deal which Trump described as the “worst deal ever”.
The terms of the agreement are likely to be met with intense criticism in Washington as the US and Iran prepare to start 60 days of negotiations over the shape of the final agreement.
The agreement also represents a blow to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who committed Israeli forces in joint strikes with the US at the outset of the war on February 28.
The deal calls for an immediate end to all fighting in Lebanon between Israel and the Iranian-backed militia Hezbollah. Iran has said that Israeli forces must withdraw under the deal, however Israel has maintained it will continue to defend itself and to occupy vast swathes of Lebanon.
The Trump administration insists the agreement will prevent Iran from ever developing a nuclear weapon but so far Iran appears to be making few concessions while reaping a lot of benefit from the agreement in its current form.
