The $1.8billions slush fund for the cronies and insurrectionists has faltered in the courts. One wonders how the $300billions #TrumpWar reparations fund will fare, given that #USLaw explicitly prohibits it.

From item 6 of the MOU: "All required licenses, waivers and permissions needed for the relevant financial transactions will be granted by the United States of America."

I read the MOU between #Iran and the U.S.A. re the #TrumpWar.

The rumours are true. Iran is going to get $300billions, and the U.S.A. is going to ensure that this is legal by removing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps's status under #USLaw as a foreign terrorist organization.

FTO status was assigned in April 2019 by one #DonaldJTrump, and reaffirmed by Trump in February 2025. It's illegal to pay even $1 to a FTO under 18 USC ยง 2339B.
