I mean, it's true that Trump says that the Americans won't contribute more than 10 cents to this fund.
This is the reconstruction fund for Iran.
Well, that is one of the mysteries because he says that America won't fund it.
But the document does say that America will create it.
I think it's actually one of the mysteries in the document because I don't see there's a great willingness amongst Gulf states to pour money into Iran at present because they're still recovering from the fact that Iran bombed them throughout the war.
And there's a real element of distrust between the two sides.

And then there's a section that was inserted quite late in the negotiations in which it says that Oman and Iran together will decide whether there is a way in which they can charge a sort of maritime service fee

Whether in fact there would be a service that you would voluntarily seek to buy is obviously in question.

So that's primary and secondary.
All UN sanctions will be lifted as well.
That's huge.
Yeah.
And then I think it's worth also adding that in the press conference, which is also a wild event as ever with Trump at the end of the G7, he gave further ground in the sense that he accepted that Iran had a right to enrich uranium domestically, which is probably the single casus belli of the whole issue.
