Vice President JD Vance has given more details on the peace deal that was made between the U.S. and Iran.

While being interviewed on CBS News, Vance was asked, if the new peace deal includes Iran having access to nearly $300 billion dollars.

Vance responded, “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.”

Yahoo News reported more on Vance’s remarks:

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.

Vance’s admission contradicts what he said on Friday, when he claimed in an X post that Iran would not be “receiving any cash, and no funds are being released simply for signing a deal or attending a meeting.” In addition to the U.S. and its allies paying $300 billion in reconstruction funds, Iran reports that the U.S. has agreed to release $25 billion in frozen Iranian assets.

Conservatives, including Trump and Vance, have long criticized the Obama administration’s 2015 nuclear deal, which involved the U.S. lifting sanctions and sending Iran $1.7 billion to settle decades-old failed contracts between the two countries.

The key phrase to focus on is when Vance shared the “gulf coast coalition” will be funding the reconstruction.

Not American taxpayers.

President Trump on Monday while speaking to French President Emmanuel Macron shared the peace deal with Iran has been signed:

NBC News reported details of the deal will be shared on Friday:

The memorandum of understanding with Iran will likely be released sometime after Friday, Trump said during a bilateral press availability with French President Emanuel Macron.

“I think pretty soon … I want it to be released because it’s a very powerful document. It’s not like the Obama document, which was just a terrible document. This is a very powerful document and I want it to be released, so probably pretty soon,” Trump told reporters in France.

“I would say, sometime after Friday, because the strait, it’s open now, but it opens completely,” he said.

Separately, a senior administration official told reporters today that details of the deal with Iran will be released in the next 24 to 48 hours.
