U.S. Vice President JD Vance said Monday that Washington will ensure unfrozen Iranian assets go to the benefit of Iranian civilians rather than terror financing, and that the move will also enrich American farmers. Israeli media cited his remarks amid rapid progress in nuclear talks.
U.S. Vice President JD Vance addressed reports of unfrozen assets for Iran during remarks made Monday, saying Washington will ensure the funds go toward Iranian civilians rather than to terror financing, according to Israeli media. He added that the policy will also benefit American farmers, making them 'richer,' as the administration frames the nuclear deal as an economic win for the U.S. as well.
The comment was his latest on the talks, which he said Sunday had 'progress' that day. Earlier Monday, a source told Israeli media that Iran has agreed to permit IAEA inspectors to visit nuclear sites, a claim being challenged by Iranian official denials. As The Zioneer reported, Vance's position has remained consistent: ensuring the final deal prevents Iranian fund diversion to regional instability, while arguing the agreement overall serves American interests.
