State Department Agrees To Pay $1.7 Billion In US Taxpayer Dollars To Iran

[Disir]

“The United States and Iran today have settled a long outstanding claim at the Iran-U.S. Claims Tribunal in the Hague,” the statement from Secretary of State John Kerry reads. “This specific claim was in the amount of a $400 million Trust Fund used by Iran to purchase military equipment from the United States prior to the break in diplomatic ties.” The claim was first filed in 1981 when Iran had an outstanding order for military equipment under the regime, which the U.S. refused to fill after the Iranian revolution. The payment is in addition to the $100 to $150 billion of Iranian assets the United States agreed to unfreeze as part of the Iranian nuclear agreement.

US to Pay Iranian Hostages as Much as $4.4 Million Each

Sure, why not subtract the cost of restitution to hostages while they're at it?

How much would our debt to China be, if we subtracted money owed to Chinese slave laborers
and religious or political prisoners for human rights violations and work not paid at livable wages?

What if that money went to victims of these regimes?
Why not?

Yeah, the US is going to pay it and let the Iranians skate. wonderful.

Your other issues are noted, but here we have a case of a government letting its people overrun an embassy and holding the staff of said embassy hostage, an act most people consider a causus belli for war.

Nothing surprises me any more. I am waiting for them to hand guantanamo bay back to Cuba, next.

 

[depotoo]

Iran is laughing all the way to the bank.

Obama's just spreading our wealth.

By the time he leaves office, will we have anything left?
