Where is the document showing the ‘debt’ is now paid in full? THAT is the real question.

The one thing NO ONE is discussing. Obozo claims this is money owed to the Iranians from the 1979 hostage crisis and the freezing of their assets.

The Iranians took our embassy and held our personnel hostage for over a year. That embassy was sovereign U.S. territory and we were invaded. They forfeited any claims via their aggression.

This money should have been paid to those Americans who endured the harassment, mistreatment at the hands of the Iranians.

“”Where is the document showing the ‘debt’ is now paid in full? THAT is the real question.””

It’s not paid in full. It was only a “good faith” installment as I understand it tho’ no one in DC has called it that. They say “installment”. It’s PART of $1.7 billion which includes interest that came about from a decision at the Hague over the dispute.

How many in DC believe had the tables been turned that we would NOW be on the receiving end of a deal made 40 years ago?

If we had told them to go pound sand, what then? If we didn’t give up the dough, they’d go ahead with their nuclear program? HA! Why was it necessary to honor the decision at all at the Hague? Circumstances changed PERIOD! The deal was made with a “friend” - it was broken by an “enemy”. DONE!
