Have you never heard the term, "held in trust for". Having control of money does not legally make it yours.
Yup and nothing said they had to give it back to Iran.
The money should have been left frozen right where it was.
Barry and Kerry gave it back and Iran used it to fund every terrorist organization in the world and to fund their nuke operation.
It was a quid quo pro, we gave them back "their money" and they stopped the uranium enrichment. Now there is no deal with the US, no diplomatic relations, sanctions are back on, and Iran has announced their plans to continue nuclear enrichment. With other nations not honoring US sanctions, the only way we can stop Iran is to start another mid-east war. Trump has made another huge mistake because he doesn't understand the politics nor culture and all he is interested in doing is giving his base what they want, undoing an Obama agreement.
That's exactly it, its an OBAMA AGREEMENT. President Obama made a private compact with the Islamodevils in Teheran.
Had the President wanted to commit his successors, he would have had the treaty ratified by the US Senate- that's our constitution.
Today, most international agreements are executive agreements because both parties have used it extensively due to the difficulty of getting a 2/3 majority in the Senate.
Walking out on the Iran nuclear deal was strictly political. Republicans hated the agreement because it was another victory for Obama, an agreement republicans had been seeking for 30 years. Trump was fulfilling a campaign promise when he cancelled the deal.
Cancelling the deal has accomplished nothing except making the validity of US agreements even more questionable in the eyes of the world. With Russia, China, Turkey, and a number of EU countries pledging to continue trade with Iran, ignoring US sanctions, the probably of a new agreement is in doubt. As Rouhani said, why should Iran enter into another agreement with another US president. US agreements are not worth the paper they are printed on.
