US Vice President JD Vance says that if Washington ever unfreezes Iranian assets as part of a deal aimed at ending the wider conflict in the Middle East, the funds would be prevented from financing terrorism. Speaking to reporters at the Burgenstock resort in Switzerland after an initial round of talks between Tehran and Washington concluded early Monday, Vance said the United States can ensure that any released money is used for permissible purposes. He added that the mechanism would direct Iranian funds toward helping Iranian people rather than supporting terrorist activity. According to reporting, Vance also suggested that the arrangement would benefit US interests, including by strengthening payments that could support American farmers. The comments were framed as part of discussions following the talks in Switzerland. No additional details about the proposed deal, timelines, or specific financial safeguards were provided in the sources.
