US Vice President JD Vance has launched a series of television appearances to promote and defend the agreement between Washington and Tehran amid mounting criticism and calls for greater transparency.
In interviews with US media, Vance argued that the agreement would prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon while emphasising that key benefits for Tehran would depend on future compliance.
Vance said the agreement had already been digitally signed, denied reports that Iran would immediately receive “billions of dollars of assets”, and insisted the United States retained leverage in future negotiations.
He also defended the accord against criticism from Republican lawmakers, said Iran would not receive “a dime” unless it changed its behaviour, and stated that international nuclear inspectors would “absolutely” return to Iran under the framework designed to end the conflict and pave the way for a broader agreement.
