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

newsJun 16, 2026293,149

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. agreement to end the months-long war in the Middle East. Vance rejected claims that the deal includes a $300 billion reconstruction payoff, calling most of that figure "basically Iranian propaganda" when pressed on Fox News. He said the United States has not released a final memorandum of understanding because "the Iranians, Pakistanis and Qataris asked us to sequence this in the right way," indicating key terms remain private. Inspector access and the dispute over multibillion-dollar terms matter because verification determines whether Iran is constrained on its nuclear program and the contested financial details will shape U.S. political support for the agreement.

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.

OGBobbyJoshson30

“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.

P Collirigger17

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

Middlerage12

Someone got yelled at by his orange king! 🤣

Bryan Sorohan10

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.

Frank Walker9

Fun fact: propaganda can be factually accurate.

“Most of this is US propaganda”

Brando Garcia5

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

𝘚𝘒𝘐𝘗 𝘐𝘕𝘛𝘙𝘖5

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.

Cream of Roper4

Does Qatar know they are paying 300 billion?

B Skinner4

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.

Joe is Me3

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.)

Sparkling Ice3

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

caseyspivey.bsky.social3

"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.

fuscoe1.bsky.social2

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

dats_moy2

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

Deborah Fortkiewicz 🦋2

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!

healinghands65.bsky.social2

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.

Vance Creep Index up 37% since last week.

Soooooo the most POWERFUL president is POWERLESS against mere propaganda????

@realtexaspaul.com

Iran and JD Vance say yes there is $300 BILLION for Iran. Trump and the GCC say it's a lie. There is no deal folks.

Trump gives $300b to Iran but refuses to give any help to Ukraine. Putin must have a good amount of dirt on him.

hear-ye--hear-ye.bsky.social8

I wonder where the blame was going to go this time? Still waiting for trumps tax returns? Still waiting for trump healthcare Bill?

Arlene1977 🌊😎 🚫DM7

Republicans have money to blow on BS. But God forbid we have health care.

mariewalsh18.bsky.social6

This $300 BILLION or whatever (double it) is the Taxpayers money. The Billionaires/Trillionaire - Don't Pay Taxes A War you didn't Want, were Promised would Never happen & that decimated your Defence Arsenal, destroyed Overseas Bases & Cost American Lives... Is to be Paid For By YOU

Retired Navy Vet4

Here comes the new deal, same as the old deal but pricier. Got us into something EVERY military analyst knew would happen, but because he's an imbecile, WE are going to pay for it (some already have with their lives).

Spider0000113

I’m shocked, really really shocked not really Donald knows this is bad and now trying to tell us that the reflecting river he likes to call it is green. They’re having media tell us that we can’t see what we can say. Welcome to the new fascist America not surprised on that part either

thrasher62.bsky.social3

He's absolutely right. You just can't make this shit up😖

Hanni3

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me 39 times and I won't be fooled again. Ever!

rj3

What the actual fuck is happening in this world? Why is everything always 2 or more stories for everything that happens?

Mike C.3

In the olden days didn't they call a $300 billion+ payment to your warring enemy "ransom" and/or "tribute?"

David2

So is Trump going to fire Vance? Iran? Both?

Miss G Teacup2

And why are Vance and Drump selling opposing messages?

anonamouspixie2

Potential agreement. Trump and Netanyahu should be forced to pay from their ill gotten funds

Johnny 'AI my ass' Speedcuffs2

Good grief. Not surprising though.

T-Fish🇨🇦🍁2

If only maga and the uneducated knew everything their orange god does is harming them and their neighbours, then maybe there’d be some change.

JD Vance to Fox on Iran: “If Donald Trump were elected the Supreme Leader of Iran, the Democrats would still say the United States had lost.” Possible future GOP Presidential candidate, everyone.

Vance to Megyn Kelly on why the US hasn’t released the text of the Iran agreement: “There are sensitivities that exist in the Arab and Muslim world.” Keep that one in your pocket next time you need to get out of something.

Rob Jacobs7

When Trump is dead it will be interesting to see if Vance has any traction with American's or will he just be labelled a lunatic and forgotten.

Mo6

Vance is kind of dumb, isn't he?

Sherri Iona6

Like our opposition leader in Canada, who supports Republican policy, he’s really not very smart.

Laminariales5

JD's run out of spaghetti to throw against the wall and so now he's trying every kind of pasta to see what sticks. But you can't sell a loss this big, especially not to Iran, a country we've all been trained to existentially fear.

raveon56.bsky.social5

Oy vey...Vance thinks Supreme Leader is elected. That's rich

Dave Keon's Cousin 🏒 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇬🇱4

Pretty sure Trump leaving to become leader of Iran would be hailed as a "win" by Democrats.

DCLascelle 🇨🇦4

Is that how wars work now? Also, the Democrats didn’t kick Trump’s ass, IRAN did. And, American propaganda aside, the ENTIRE PLANET knows it.

Samuel Spade4

What the hell is he even talking about?

mrbluesky583

Yeah, no, that would be a win. Please take him.

Charles𖦹Gardener ✹3

I can remember when JD Vance was presented and regarded, by some trusted commentators, as an heavyweight in the making with a compelling back story. He turns out to be a tit. Quell surprise.

Billyzap3

Sorry for reposting on your feed but yes. Stupid candidates reign supreme bsky.app/profile/bill...

Rick_Geyer2

Each day, a greater chance he'll be running as the incumbent, which is why he's not talking about 2028 now.

Roberta catesby2

Wrong. If donOLD left the us, I'd consider it a win.

DJ McCann2

And if Iran demanded Khamenei be put in a Supreme Leader position over the US, Vance's next book would be about how Americans don't properly pray towards Mecca anymore.

Tomato Szn2

He really thinks this word salad has any meaning.

Gregory Lynn2

But Donald Trump didn’t. What he did was start a war at the behest of a violent racist fascist that he is somehow not related to, then give up and give Iran everything they want.

Jonty Edwards2

JD, or whatever your real name is, A LOT of Republicans are saying it.
