Iran's advanced IED's sent our troops home in body bags and the dipshit Obama handed them money........It was Iranian paramilitary who were in Yemen who ended up getting us out of there under Obama........right after Obama said everything there was fine.........No it wasn't fine.........That War rages on with millions in danger of starvation.............Iran helped start that...........the 160 Billion was blood money.They declared war on us.This has been debunked. That wasn't our money.Sending the money to Iran was Obama's choice.If someone paid you for something you never delivered, yes, I would expect you to give the money back. And I'm sure you would.Who cares whos money it was?That was Iran's money, ordered by a Court for us to pay. I don't blame Iran for wanting it up front before they signed the Deal.
Will you assholes ever stop with this bullshit?
They sponsor terrorism. I bet that money went towards mercenaries or missile technology.
If i stole something from al queada would you want me to give it back?
The $1.8 billion
The Congressional Research Service, the nonpartisan analytic arm of Congress, reviewed this cash transfer in a 2018 report. It gave a total of $1.7 billion.
That was the amount that U.S. and Iranian negotiators settled on to resolve an arms contract between the United States and Iran that predated the Iranian revolution in 1979. Iran had paid for military equipment, and it was never delivered.
As of 1990, there were $400 million in that account. Negotiators agreed that accrued interest would add $1.3 billion to the amount, which is a lot of money — but 25 years is a long time for interest to build up the balance.
The United States sent the money to Iran in euros, Swiss francs and other currencies
They were seized by EO and Obama released them by EO.
Obama was not legally bound to return it.....it was his choice.
So essentially Obama sent aide to our enemies which is classified as treason.
I would have used the money to build the wall and dare Iran to come and get it.
They lost all rights to it....end of story.
Anyone who dares saying otherwise to my face will get an ass-whipping because I've been a recipient of Iran's Guerrilla warfare tactics while serving in the military.
