It's an investment fund. The Iranian economy will prosper after the sanctions are lifted. The billionaires can buy at current prices and will profit. The question is, where can a regular person buy shares in that fund?

Americans already paid for the shares

That's the neat part. You don't need to buy it, you just need to buy the drones.

I should buy a boat to sail through my strait.

I should buy a replacement for the boat that sank while I was sailing it through the strait, and sail it somewhere else.
