VP JD Vance says U.N. inspectors will return to Iran, denies $300B payoff claims

newsJun 16, 2026671,265

Vice President JD Vance said U.N. nuclear inspectors will be allowed back into Iran to verify Tehran’s compliance as part of a U.S.-backed deal to end the monthslong war, he told NBC News. Vance rejected claims the agreement includes a $300 billion reconstruction payoff, calling most of that "Iranian propaganda" and saying the United States will not give "a single dime." U.S. officials say the $300 billion would come from Gulf Cooperation Council countries and the $24 billion figure refers to long-blocked Iranian oil revenues frozen in international banks, and the inspectors' return would create formal international monitoring that could ease regional tensions while fueling sharp domestic political debate.

FOX & FRIENDS: There's also the $300 billion in reparations that's gonna come from Qatar and some of the Gulf states, and then $24 billion in unfrozen assets. Is any of that true? JD VANCE: Most of that is basically Iranian propaganda (That's not a no!)

“It’s literally propaganda” -guy on the propaganda news network

Then let’s see the fucking agreement.

“Basically,” “fundamentally.” Everything he says is a hedge. His words are as empty as his soul.

It's very interesting that Vance is the point person here and not the Secretary of State.

This is the magic time when JD can go on TV and say whatever works because they refuse to show us the actual agreement. How long can they keep us in the dark?

fun fact: Iranian propaganda is much more reliable than American propaganda

Someone got yelled at by his orange king! 🤣

Let's say 90% is actually Iranian propaganda (for the sake of argument, you know Vance is lying). 10% of that amount is still $32.4 billion, which is approximately 20 times what they screamed about when Obama made his treaty.

Fun fact: propaganda can be factually accurate.

Yet Trump won’t release the agreement to prove Iran wrong.

Bibi is going to fuck the deal by attacking Beirut, then Iran will say the deal is off letting the orange War Pig off the hook so he doesn't have to disclose the terms of the MOU.

Does Qatar know they are paying 300 billion?

The fact that the VP’s sole job is to lie and incite racial violence is really bonkers but it really doesn’t seem like people are mad enough about that other than no one likes him

Love the English to English translation by fox media personality to the vice president.

It's incredibly fascinating to pay attention to when these clowns choose to be careful with their language.

Michael Lux 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇪🇺3

I wouldn't bet that this deal survives two weeks. Trump can't control Bibi and Itan can't control Hezbollah (or the (Houthis.)

The part that untrue is that the money is coming from other Gulf nations. It’s coming from US.

"Most of that is basically..." How much of it is true?

Bob Sacemano2

yesterday he said the $300 million is a possibility. apparently trump told him to stop saying that.

Bot Scolgiano2

Most of it? Which parts?

JD2

Iran is absolutely insane to sign a deal with these people.

Does Vance hear how stupid he sounds. Or does he think Americans are stupid as he is.

If only there was some way to know what’s in the deal, perhaps something you could read? 🤔

Imagine how different the United States would be if Fox News didn’t allow such brazen lies to be told to the most naive audience possible

TOFU Trump Only F**ks Up2

If so, release the agreement. Enough with us naively accepting whatever they say, turns out later to be flatly wrong!

Lies lies and more lies

cches.bsky.social2

Solves the mystery as to why my beloved family member stated yesterday that “Trump will make them do it”. When you only hear “everyone has so much respect for him”, and decide to go with that, facts be damned.. 10 + years into this now… that’s the mindset, no end in sight here.
