US vice president says Iran could access $300bn reconstruction fund US Vice President JD Vance has suggested Iran could gain access to $300bn in reconstruction funds if it complies with the tentative peace deal with Washington. Asked by CBS News’s Ed O’Keefe whether the reported funding package was part of the agreement, Vance said it was possible if Tehran honoured its commitments. "That's the sort of thing they could have access to, funded by the Gulf coast coalition, so long as they honour their end of the obligation," Vance said. He added that Iranian officials and media would likely focus on what Tehran gains from the deal rather than what it gives up.

Vice President JD Vance all but confirmed a detail being floated as part of the tentative U.S.-Iran peace deal: Iranian access to $300 billion in reconstruction funds. Vance was asked by CBS’s Ed O’Keefe Monday morning about whether the rumored detail was true, and he said that it could be possible if Iran adheres to the agreement. “That’s the sort of thing they could have access to, funded by the Gulf coast coalition, so long as they honor their end of the obligation,” Vance said. He noted that Iranian officials and media would be emphasizing the benefits they receive from the deal as opposed to what they concede.

That deal was also succeeding, with international observers stating that Iran was adhering to all its nuclear terms. It was Trump who decided to break it in his first term and then start a war with Iran in his second. Now, he’s only pushing a deal because his efforts are failing spectacularly, costing money, innocent lives, and American credibility.
