Vice President Vance pushes back on claims about Iran, saying the deal keeps the Strait of Hormuz open, lowers oil prices, and ensures Tehran never gets a nuclear weapon:
“I’ve seen a lot of misinformation out there. I’ve seen claims that $24 billion is going from the United States to Iran. That number is totally false, completely made up. Fundamentally, what this agreement does is, first, ensure that the Strait of Hormuz is open immediately. You’re already seeing oil prices come down substantially, and I think they’re only going to fall further. Number two, it ensures that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. And number three, it says that if the Iranians are willing to change their behavior—if they’re willing to act like a normal country, stop trying to build a nuclear weapon, and stop funding terrorism throughout the Middle East—then we are willing to fundamentally transform our relationship with them.”
