Going back to 1980.
Every single US President has had issues with the Israeli PMs. But the US Senate and Congress always "sided" with the Israeli PMs against their own President. Only Ronald Reagan imposed a 1-year ban on US military and economic assistance to Israel but eventually had to relent under immense pressure.

I dont think any of that fund is US tax payer money, its likely mixture of private investment, GCC and Iranian frozen funds.

>> We of course don't know how close this is the final version but the wording is very precise and functional so it looks more authentic than others. If true, the lifting of all financial sanctions and reintegration with the global banking systems, alongside oil sales is extremely significant win for Iran!

You should expect Iran to take off economically from this point onwards and it may become the economic power of the middle east again alongside Türkiye.
