Senior Trump administration official outlines deal Iran agreed to, Vance plays down rumors
US Vice President JD Vance on Friday played down recent reports on the potential Iran deal, saying that Tehran would not receive any cash and no funds would be released “for simply signing a deal or attending a meeting.”
In a post on X, Vance said the deal was structured so that Iran would gain economic benefits if it met “its obligations.”
The vice president also hit back at critics in an apparent swipe at Republican lawmakers and commentators who have publicly criticized US President Donald Trump’s pursuit of a deal
“People who (rightly) said Donald Trump was a historic president a month ago now criticizing a deal based on unconfirmed media reports,” Vance said. “The president is going to get us a good outcome, one way or the other,” he added.
Meanwhile, a senior Trump administration official told Al Arabiya English the details about what Iran has agreed to:
- Nuclear material will be destroyed and removed
- Nuclear program will be dismantled
- None of their money released until they perform
- Strait of Hormuz will be open
- No Iran funding of terrorist groups
“This is what they have agreed to. This is a performance-based deal,” the official said.
