The US and Iran are set to officially sign a deal on June 19, but US Vice President JD Vance has clarified that any sanctions relief for Iran will depend on Tehran's compliance with the agreement's terms.
Vance stated that no money has been released to Iran, and any sanctions relief would be contingent on Iran's performance of its obligations, including giving up its nuclear weapons program and not funding terrorist activities.
He emphasized that the agreement offers Iran a chance to be welcomed into the global economy if it adheres to the deal's terms, but warned that if Iran fails to comply, it will never have the money to rebuild its nuclear program.
Vance acknowledged that implementing the deal will be challenging, citing Israel's decision not to be bound by the agreement and the complexities of achieving a lasting peace in the region.
