The post accurately quotes a New York Times article reporting that Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner suggested promoting real estate projects in Tehran and an investment fund contingent on a peace deal. While the post characterizes the negotiations as 'failed,' recent reporting indicates talks are ongoing or nearing a potential agreement, making that descriptor likely editorial framing by the poster.

Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner suggested promoting real estate projects in Tehran and an investment fund in the event a deal was reached.True. This matches the quoted text from the cited New York Times article (May 28, 2026), which reports that mediators said the two men floated this idea as part of a reconstruction program.
-
Witkoff and Kushner have been integral to negotiations in the Iran War.True. Multiple sources confirm Steve Witkoff serves as Trump's Middle East envoy leading diplomatic talks, and Jared Kushner has been heavily involved in the administration's Iran negotiations.
-
The negotiations are 'failed'.Unverified/Editorial Framing. The cited article and other recent reports describe the negotiations as ongoing, with plans to be 'further discussed' and a potential deal 'nearer.' The 'failed' characterization appears to be the poster's own framing rather than a factual statement from the source.
Caveats
The 'failed negotiations' descriptor is not supported by the cited article or contemporaneous reporting, which describes talks as active or approaching a deal. The rest of the post is a direct, accurate quote from the linked source.

Mostly true. A New York Times report confirms Witkoff and Kushner proposed Tehran real estate projects and an investment fund if a deal is reached. However, calling the talks "failed" is misleading, as recent reporting shows negotiations are ongoing and nearing a potential agreement.
