President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance provided conflicting statements regarding the terms of a peace deal with Iran. On June 16, 2026, Trump claimed on Truth Social that Iran had agreed to never pursue nuclear weapons and denied reports of a $300 million payment from the U.S. to Iran, calling it 'Fake News.' However, reports indicated that a memorandum of understanding signed by both leaders included a provision for a $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran. Vance confirmed this in an interview with CBS News, stating that Iran could access the fund if they honored their obligations under the agreement. He emphasized the need for skepticism regarding the benefits Iran might claim from the deal. The full text of the agreement is expected to be released soon. Vance later appeared on Fox News, reiterating that no American taxpayer money would be involved in payments to Iran, clarifying that any economic benefits would come from other countries if Iran complied with the agreement's terms.
