Funds Won’t Be Released to Iran as War-End Framework Is Signed, Says Vance

U.S. Vice President JD Vance said on ABC’s Good Morning America that no frozen assets would be released to Iran in exchange for signing the framework to halt the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz; sanctions relief would come only after Iran takes verified steps to eliminate its stockpile of enriched uranium and allows verification. He added the framework’s text will be shared this week and that signing is expected in Switzerland on Friday with Iran’s foreign minister and House speaker, while the United States aims for the Strait to stay open toll-free.
