According to Axios, President Trump has negotiated a new Iran nuclear agreement that could unlock billions in financial benefits for Tehran—but the exact terms remain largely secret. The deal includes a 60-day negotiating window where Iran can temporarily sell oil freely and may receive sanctions relief or access to frozen funds in exchange for compliance steps. If a final nuclear agreement is reached, the U.S. commits to lift all remaining sanctions. Most politically explosive: a potential $300 billion rebuilding fund for Iran's economy, funded by Gulf and East Asian investors—though the White House insists this flows only if Iran permanently abandons its nuclear program. The contradiction with Trump's 2015 withdrawal has triggered sharp criticism, while officials defend the structure as 'pay for performance.' The memorandum of understanding is set to be formally signed Friday.
