On Monday, Vance disputed a report by an Iranian state-run news agency that the memorandum would see billions of dollars in Iranian assets unfrozen, while mandating that the U.S. pay Iran $300 billion for reconstruction costs. Vance said the reparations would instead be paid by neighboring Gulf states.<\/p>\n<p>This comes as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pledged not to abide by the latest ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and Iran. On Monday, Netanyahu made his first public remarks since Trump announced the deal over the weekend. The Israeli leader said he had no intention of withdrawing his forces from southern Lebanon.<\/p>\n<p>Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: \u201cFor decades, I\u2019ve been fighting Iran\u2019s efforts to acquire nuclear weapons. I can define this as my life\u2019s mission. I have upheld it until now, and I will uphold it in the future, as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier today, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned Iran will consider it a direct violation of the interim agreement with the \u2060United States unless Israel halts all attacks and withdraws from occupied Lebanese territory.
