Washington, DC – US Vice President J.D. Vance asserted that the only way Iran will receive any funds or relief from economic restrictions is by adhering to international agreements.
He also emphasized the necessity of changing its behavior.
A clear American condition
Vance said that any economic breakthrough with Iran would remain directly contingent on Tehran’s adherence to its commitments.
He also stressed that Washington would not provide any financial assistance without this condition being met.
Economic link to political behavior
Vance explained that the US administration considers modifying Iran’s behavior on regional
and nuclear issues to be a fundamental prerequisite for any improvement in relations.
Furthermore, it is a condition for any easing of sanctions imposed on Iran.
A political message to Tehran
Vance remarks come amid a hardening of US positions that link political agreements to economic issues.
This comes as discussions continue about the future of the relationship
between Washington and Tehran following the recent understandings.
