Iran continues to profit handsomely off of Obama’s presidency. The Obama administration said that the $1.3 billion paid in January, just two days after the ransom payment of $400 million in cash was delivered, to resolve an old dispute .
The dispute dates back to the 1970s, when the then U.S.-backed shah purchased military equipment for $400 million. Due to the Islamic Revolution, the equipment was never delivered because the shah was overthrown and diplomatic ties were severed.
The dollar figure, $1.3 billion, is what the U.S. and Iran agreed would be the interest on the $400 million in principal over all these years. In January, the $400 million was delivered on pallets transporting the euros, Swiss francs and numerous other foreign currency to Tehran.
The Obama Administration finally acknowledged that the timing of this payment was leverage to ensure the release of the hostages.
Leverage or a ransom – a rose is a rose by any other name. Obama negotiated with terrorists.
The rest of the story is on the next page.
These “news items ” keep telling the story over and over, but if no one brings charges, or if Congress doesn’t act, he just gets away with it. Just figure what we’ve paid congress over the last seven years, what a waste of hard earned money. Vote out all incumbents and demand term limits.
Someone needs to smoke both of these sadists.
See i told all dumbass DEmocrats that Obummer had payed the 1.3billion dollars to the Iranian to fund terrorist activities against the USA and the killing of its people that means all the people even Democrats
Shot that idiot ???
Call it Irans money if you want. But I don’t think so. Our original deal was made with a leader who was overthrown, not with the radical regime of present day. Also Iran is responsible for kidnapping and killing hundreds of Americans and destroying millions of dollars of American property. The original deal was to purchase military aircraft. So they should have given the dastards a few old 1973 prop jobs that will likely never fly again. Tell them it’s inflation. Or just told them that with what we have we feel they only owe us another 1.5 trillion.
Where is this money coming from?
About time something was done about O…….
Wtf
Impeach Obama
Obama is a traitor impeach him now.
