Iran’s state outlets are circulating a $300 billion US reconstruction figure tied to the new memorandum. No American readout carries it. That asymmetry is the story.

Desk note: Monexus treats the $300 billion reconstruction figure as an Iranian-state-media claim until a US government source corroborates it. The memo itself is sourced through the wire record; the price tag is not. Readers should hold the two apart.
