Vice President JD Vance suggested that any financial compensation for Iran might be funded by Gulf countries and warned against overestimating Iran’s benefits while underestimating its concessions.

Vice President JD Vance stirred speculation earlier on Monday when asked about the fund by CBS News’s Ed O’Keefe, suggesting it was a possibility but would be paid for by the Gulf states.

“I think that one of the things you’re going to see, Ed — and people have to be skeptical of this — is that the hard-liners in the Iranian system will overemphasize the benefits that Iran gets while underemphasizing all the things that they have to concede and all the things they have to provide in order to get these benefits,” Vance added.
The possibility that Iran could receive financial compensation as part of a peace deal drew parallels to previous criticisms of the “pallets of cash” provision of former President Barack Obama’s deal that enraged many Republicans.
