US Vice President JD Vance announced that the US administration will not release any of Iran's frozen assets abroad until Tehran fulfills its obligations under an agreement.
The US administration will not unfreeze a single dollar of Iran's frozen assets abroad until Tehran fulfills its obligations under the agreement, US Vice President JD Vance announced at a White House press conference, noting that the total amount of frozen Iranian assets could reach $200 billion.
"So, on the frozen funds, the amount of money, I honestly don't know. I've heard numbers north of $100 billion, I've actually heard numbers north of $200 billion. Most of it is not in United States accounts, most of it's either in the Gulf or in Europe or somewhere else, but I don't know the exact amount of money," he said.
"We're not releasing a single dollar of that money until the Iranians perform, and there are a number of ways they could perform," the vice president added.
