Iran will get no U.S. money under new deal, Vice President Vance insists

U.S. Vice President JD Vance strongly defended a new agreement aimed at ending a war, asserting that Iran will not receive "a single cent" from the United States under any circumstances. Vance stated that the terms of the deal have been misrepresented by the media.

The Islamic Republic will not receive a single cent from the United States under any circumstances.

"The only way the Iranians will get any of these resources is if they fully comply with the terms of the agreement," Vance explained. He clarified that the memorandum of understanding includes the creation of a $300 billion regional fund for Iran's reconstruction and the release of $24 billion in Iranian funds previously frozen by sanctions. Vance stressed that these resources are not directly from the U.S. Treasury.

The terms of the agreement have been misrepresented by the media.

He characterized the agreement as a "win-win situation." Vance elaborated that if Iran fails to change its behavior, its military and nuclear programs will remain crippled. Conversely, if Iran does change its behavior, it could lead to a "transformative relationship with the Middle East."

The only way the Iranians will get any of these resources is if they fully comply with the terms of the agreement.

Vance also claimed the deal is already yielding tangible results for Americans, citing the passage of 12.5 million barrels of oil through the Strait of Hormuz the previous night. However, the agreement has faced criticism from hardliners within the Republican Party. These critics argue that the U.S. has capitulated to Iran, potentially allowing the nation to continue enriching uranium and gain access to previously sanctioned funds.

So it's really a win-win situation. If the Iranians don't change their behavior, their military and nuclear program will remain crippled; if they do change their behavior, then they will have a transformative relationship with the Middle East.
