Vice President JD Vance was blunt: not one cent of U.S. taxpayer money goes to Iran, no exceptions.
Any Gulf investment, including the UAE, only happens if Iran ends terrorism and nuclear activity; no compliance means no benefits. Claims of Qatari payoffs were denied outright: no money has changed hands.
Not a weakness, but leverage. America First means results, not handouts. Obama gave it away; Trump’s deal is change or nothing.
“Here’s what this says. This says, for example, let’s say that the United Arab Emirates, who have been a great ally, let’s say they want to invest in a power plant in Iran. What this deal provides is that if the Iranians have done everything we require them to do, then we will allow the United Arab Emirates to do that.
Because they can’t do that right now without American approval. So we’re fundamentally saying, if the Iranians transform how they interact with the world, we will transform how the world economy interacts with Iran. But if they don’t do any of that stuff, they don’t get any of these benefits.
So I think all the Democrats who are saying, well, the Iranians get all these things, they don’t get anything unless the total, unless there’s been a complete transformation of how Iran interacts with the world. That would be a huge win for America. And to Jesse’s point, if they don’t do any of these things, we don’t give them anything.
They don’t receive anything. Their nuclear program is still destroyed. Their military is still destroyed.
Their missile program and industrial base is still destroyed. We fundamentally have transformed the Middle East. Whether they comply or not, this is just icing on the cake, assuming they do all the right things.”
