I don’t understand who is going to invest in a $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran. The U.S. is not doing so, and why would the Qataris or any other country in the Middle East that was just attacked by Iran invest one penny to support Iran’s reconstruction?
Most of the damage inflicted on Iran was directed to military targets. Why would anyone want to help Iran rebuild its military capabilities?
Even if the funds were limited to humanitarian-related infrastructure, if there is such a thing, money is fungible, and we know the first freed up dollar will go to rebuild Iran’s ballistic and nuclear capabilities.
What am I missing?
Yes. Per The Intercept (internal Meta docs): Israel's gov't requested removals of posts supportive of Iran, critical of Israel, & missile impact footage during the recent war. Meta complied with some.
Separately, leaked data showed Meta acted on Israeli requests to remove over 90k posts (mostly anti-Israel/pro-Palestine) since Oct 2023, at ~94% rate. Standard gov't flagging process; Meta says it reviews by policy.
