A $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran was not discussed with the Gulf countries, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said at a press conference in Manama.
“Fund for reconstruction was not discussed. I mean, the reconstruction, that’s way down the road. And that’s something, you know, that’ll be dealt with at the appropriate time in this process, but that was not discussed by anybody,” Mr Rubio told a press conference in Manama.
Mr Rubio also said there was zero support among Gulf countries for a Strait of Hormuz toll, adding that they also shared other serious concerns as he wrapped up his Middle East trip following the US-Iran interim deal.
“So one thing that came across very clear is there is zero support, zero support among the Gulf countries for any sort of toll or fees or anything that charges for the use of international waters.”
