Will Iran receive billions of dollars as a result of the deal, and where will this money come from?

 

These are the questions that the whole world is looking for answers to, and due to the lack of any solid information, various speculations are being made.

However, the statements made by US President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghai after the agreement have certainly revealed some details about what the two countries have agreed on and it is also known what conditions have been imposed on Iran.

US President Trump wrote in his statement on Truth Social: ‘This news is false that the US is paying Iran $300 million.’

In the comments on this statement, social media users say that this amount is not $300 million but $300 billion. And for this, a statement by the US Vice President himself is being cited.

After the announcement of the US-Iran deal, JD Vance gave an interview to CBS, the BBC's US partner.

He was asked: "The Iranians are saying they will be given access to a $300 billion reconstruction fund, is that true or false?"

Rather than directly denying the claim, the US vice president responded in a slightly different way. He said: "This is something that could be accessed."

‘US ready to discuss unfreezing Iranian assets’

It should be noted that since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, the US has imposed numerous economic and trade sanctions on Iran. According to the Iranian news agency ‘Press TV’, over the past 47 years, the US has withheld billions of dollars of Iran’s national wealth, including oil revenues, central bank reserves and commercial assets. And then the scope of these economic sanctions was expanded to the industrial and energy sectors.

During an interview with CBS, the US Vice President was asked: ‘The Iranians say that if they achieve certain goals, they will be released $24 billion of frozen assets. Is that correct?’

This time J.D. Vance’s response was more clear and blunt: ‘The text that we discussed with Iran does not mention $24 billion.’

He said that Iran had been told that if it complied with the terms of the agreement, ‘we are prepared to discuss unfreezing the assets.’

JD Vance said that hardliners in the Iranian regime will exaggerate the benefits to their country but will not talk about what Iran has to do in return.

US President Trump is in France to attend the G7 summit. While answering questions from the media there, he said that the deal his predecessor US President Obama made with Iran “under which $1.7 billion in cash was loaded onto a Boeing plane and handed over to Iran.”

Trump said that Obama tried to bribe Iran to make a deal but it didn’t work, but the deal he has made with Iran “will be a great success for the world.”

What five conditions were demanded of Iran

After the agreement, US Vice President JD Vance gave interviews to several media outlets. These interviews show that the agreement basically demands that Iran fulfill five conditions.

Will end its nuclear program.

Will destroy its stockpile of enriched uranium. For this, the International Atomic Energy Agency and the United States will help Iran.

Will agree to a system that will ensure through periodic inspections that the nuclear program has not been restarted.

Will open the Strait of Hormuz to ship traffic.

Will commit itself to peace and stability in the region.

This last condition, according to US Vice President JD Vance, is listed in the first paragraph of the US-Iran agreement. “Part of that is that Iran will stop funding violent terrorist organizations,” he said in an interview with CNN.

Vance described the agreement reached between the United States and Iran as a “very general” document, “about a page and a half long.”

And if Iran implements these conditions, according to J.D. Vance, the United States would not object to “Gulf countries investing in Iran’s reconstruction.”

Will Iran charge a fee for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz?

When US President Trump announced the deal with Iran, he clearly stated in a social media post that Iran would not charge any fees for using the Strait of Hormuz.

And then, while answering media questions along with French President Emmanuel Macron, he also said that the Strait of Hormuz would be ‘toll-free’. That is, no tolls/taxes/duties would be charged on it.

However, the statement of the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson indicated that Iran definitely intends to charge some kind of fee from ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghai said at a press conference yesterday that the costs for navigation and other services that Iran and Oman will provide, “will be determined and collected.”

When asked about this in an interview with NBC News, US Vice President JD Vance explained that the initial agreement states that there will be 60 days of negotiations for a final agreement and that no tolls will be charged on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz during these negotiations.

He said that during the negotiations with Iran, “we made it clear that we will not accept any system in which a fee is charged from ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. We have not seen any opposition to this.”

The US Vice President is saying that Iran and the US will reach a final agreement within 60 days and during this time, Iran will not collect any tolls on the Strait of Hormuz. The US has also made it clear to Iran that no toll is acceptable for using this sea route, and according to Vance, Iran has not even objected to this US demand.

However, the Iranian Foreign Ministry's indication of charging a navigation fee does not mean that the toll will be charged, but its name will be changed.
