Regular vertex operator subalgebras and compressions of intertwining operators

Let $V$ be a vertex operator subalgebra of $U$. Assume that $U$, $V$, and its commutant $V^c$ in $U$ are CFT-type, self-dual, and regular VOAs. Assume also that the double commutant $V^{cc}$ equals $V$. We prove that any intertwining operator of $V$ is a compression of intertwining operators of $U$.
