I don't believe this at all. More likely a round about way to provide Iran with materials it wanted. Just like when we drop supplies to the wrong side, or allow muntions to fall into the wrong hands in Iraq, or don't really bomb ISIS, or secretly arm "the good rebels", and on and on it goes.
Or allow our Libyan consulate and its safe house to be overrun to provide intelligence, bodies, and arms to ISIS.
I have NO DOUBT that this administration has been completely and actively helping our enemies since day one.
