Iran accuses Washington of leaking information for financial gain and demands half of the profits
Iran accused U.S. officials Jared Kushner and Steve Weitzkopf of exploiting insider information from the U.S.-Iran negotiations to achieve financial gains. Tehran issued demands to receive half of the estimated profits, which amounted to around $9 billion, resulting from practices aimed at manipulating financial markets to secure illicit profits. According to the messages Iran sent, Kushner and Weitzkopf exploited their knowledge of the negotiation developments to obtain financial benefits, rather than supporting the diplomatic process. Iran also communicated through an intermediary with American officials to warn them that continued involvement of these individuals in the negotiations might hinder the achievement of a permanent agreement. This came amid rising market suspicion of manipulation in oil contracts and energy company stocks. Members of Congress called for imposing a ban on senior officials participating in financial gambling.
