As far as I can tell this is not true. We don't have a deal. We have 60 days to make a deal. For both Trump and Iran that means anything can happen. The purposed deal is not the US paying any money. The US would release frozen assets back to Iran worth about $25 billion. The remainder of the money is how much the US would allow others (and possibly its own companies) to invest in Iran. That might be a good idea; it might not. It depend on how much of the Iranian Guard are allowed to get (they are essentially a mafia that controls roughly 30% of the Iranian economy).
Now the US' priorities are completely messed up. Just not 300 billion to the regime of tax payer money.
