Iran committed an act of war against the US and has been a hostile terrorist funder since they seized our embassy and imprisoned our citizens. We owed them nothing.It was Iran's money to begin with.. We aren't theives.
The Iranian student protested for months and we ignored their desire for Democracy. Then the Ayatollah an the Mullahs took over.
They committed no act of war against the US.. We had already crushed their budding Democracy in 1953. Do you remember what Iran was like in 1953?
