To avoid a domestic political backlash, the U.S. deliberately avoided terms like “compensation” or “reparation” in the draft, instead referring to the fund as the “International Investment Fund.” The political logic behind this move is straightforward: For a decade, former President Donald Trump bashed the Obama administration’s $400 million payment to Iran as “treason” and “ransom.” Signing a multibillion-dollar deal labeled as war reparations would hand Trump’s political opponents and base a potent campaign weapon, sources familiar with the discussions note.
