Not 'a single dollar' of Iran's assets to be released by US until 'they perform' — Vance
According to the US vice president, there are a number of ways Iran "could perform"
WASHINGTON, June 18. /TASS/. The US administration will not unfreeze a single dollar of Iran's frozen assets abroad until Tehran fulfills its obligations under the agreement, US Vice President JD Vance announced at a White House press conference, noting that the total amount of frozen Iranian assets could reach $200 billion.
"So, on the frozen funds, the amount of money, I honestly don't know. I've heard numbers north of $100 billion, I've actually heard numbers north of $200 billion. Most of it is not in United States accounts, most of it's either in the Gulf or in Europe or somewhere else, but I don't know the exact amount of money," he said.
"We're not releasing a single dollar of that money until the Iranians perform, and there are a number of ways they could perform," the vice president added.
