U.S. sanctions have prevented the Iranian Red Crescent from obtaining any foreign financial aid to assist victims of flooding that has killed at least 70 people and inundated some 1,900 communities, the group said on Sunday.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said last week that Washington was ready to help via the Red Cross and Red Crescent, but accused Iran’s clerical establishment of “mismanagement in urban planning and in emergency preparedness”.

“No foreign cash help has been given to the Iranian Red Crescent society. With attention to the inhuman American sanctions, there is no way to send this cash assistance,” the Red Crescent said in a statement. […]

“Blocked equipment includes relief choppers: This isn’t just economic warfare; it’s economic TERRORISM,” (Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif) said on Twitter. …

Maybe they can get some help from Venezuela.

Feel sorry for the people.

But Iran can’t have it both ways. They need to decide whether they want to be friend or foe.

… “.. the will of Allah?”

“if it be the will of allah, or may it be the will of allah.” Allah is the moon god.

I’d personally help, but my hose only reaches the street.

[American in Israel]

Obviously Iran is an apostate branch Islam, Allah is not blessing them.

[CaptainK]

Have the already gone through the 1.7 billion that Obama flew over to them in an unmarked plan?

They should have saved it for a very very rainy day.

[Delta 21]

Gee. Thats just too bad.

[dfwgator]

They can hit up the Saudis for money.

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

Obama prepaid them billions

[hal ogen]

Who cares...really? The Greatest Fraud Ever (and traitor) stole hundreds of billions of our money, giving it to his close friends.

[lurk]

They would have cash if they stopped trying to start the apocalypse.

[golux]

OH NO! BUMMER! OBAMA'S $800,000,000,000 IN U.S. CASH RAN OUT

...AND IRAN NEEDS MORE MONEY!



AND OBAMA ISN'T THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES ANYMORE.

Whoops! Update: We don't need your oil.

OUCH! That's gotta hurt more than your goats' derrieres!

[2Dreamin]

It is more than that. About two weeks ago the mullahs pronounced a curse on Israel and the Great Satan America. I guess that bit them in the butt. Genesis 12:3 comes to mind.

Aloha Snack Bar,Baby!

Karma’s a bitch.

“Blocked equipment includes relief choppers: This isn’t just economic warfare; it’s economic TERRORISM,” (Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif) said on Twitter.

Irony and credulity are truly lost on the Iranian mullahs and their lickspittles.

[bboop]

I read that they won’t take it from the ‘cross-lovers’ BUT will whine that we won’t help them due to sanctions. Go ahead, be victims.
