Vice President of the United States JD Vance Outlining the core three-point framework of a proposed peace deal between Washington and Tehran, it stresses that Iran must give up its nuclear weapons, keep the Strait of Hormuz open and meet strict conditions before receiving any economic benefits.“The deal is actually very simple,” Vance told Fox News. “One, Iran can’t have a nuclear weapon. Two, the Strait of Hormuz is open. And three, if the Iranians behave well, they can get all these benefits.”His comments came as the United States and Iran moved closer to signing a peace deal in Switzerland on Friday.Vance said any economic relief for Tehran would depend on significant changes in its behavior, including ending support for militant groups and abandoning efforts to rebuild its nuclear program.“If they stop developing terrorism, if they stop financing terrorism, if they stop supporting the rebuilding of a nuclear weapons program, they can actually get some real benefits. If they don’t do any of those things, they get nothing,” he said.The vice president also criticized what he said were attempts by Iranian officials to distort the proposed deal.“Iranian propagandists are there [are] Well said, we get all these things, but they ignore the fact that they can only get these things by fundamentally changing themselves as a country,” Vance said.Vance said the United States would benefit regardless of how Tehran responds to the deal.“As the president said, either way, the United States is going to win. Either they get nothing and we destroy their nuclear program and the Strait of Hormuz opens up, or they fundamentally change themselves, which is also a huge victory. It’s really up to them,” he added.The US vice president said that under the proposed arrangement, Iran would effectively enter a trial phase, with Washington judging Tehran by its actions rather than its promises.“What I learned from the president of the United States is that you shouldn’t trust anyone, friend or foe, you should trust people’s actions,” Vance said.“That’s why the deal is set up in such a way that if they act in the right way, if they act this way, they will get a lot of benefits,” he added.U.S. President Donald Trump promoted the proposed agreement in an article published in Truth Social, calling it a “great deal” aimed at stabilizing the entire region.“This great deal will bring peace and security to the entire region. Many presidents have tried to make peace with Iran and failed before me. For the first time, the region’s leaders have found a president who can help them achieve true peace,” the US president wrote.Meanwhile, G7 leaders welcomed the deal reached between the United States and Iran during a summit in France.
