U.S. to Award Iran $11.9 Billion Through End of Nuke Talks
Fox News ^ | January 21, 2015 | Adam Kredo

The Obama administration on Wednesday paid $490 million in cash assets to Iran and will have released a total of $11.9 billion to the Islamic Republic by the time nuclear talks are scheduled to end in June, according to figures provided by the State Department.

Today’s $490 million release, the third such payment of this amount since Dec. 10, was agreed to by the Obama administration under the parameters of another extension in negotiations over Tehran’s contested nuclear program that was inked in November.

Iran will receive a total of $4.9 billion in unfrozen cash assets via 10 separate payments by the United States through June 22, when talks with Iran are scheduled to end with a final agreement aimed at curbing the country’s nuclear work, according to a State Department official.

Iran received $4.2 billion in similar payments under the 2013 interim agreement with the United States and was then given another $2.8 billion by the Obama administration last year in a bid to keep Iran committed to the talks through November, when negotiators parted ways without reaching an agreement.

“”I believe it is the stuff from Iran’s frozen accounts””

True but I just had a better idea - why didn’t we make claims on it for repayment of the 1979 hostage crisis? Or have we done that with other funds of theirs? Who can remember that far back?

Why doesn't Obama just ship them a dozen Nuke missiles complete with a Sub and an Airforce of 1,000 F15's with a completed strategic map of Israel/USA.

Who says he hasn't already??

“Who says he hasn’t already??”

The sad part is that IF he had done that what would be done about it?

NOTHING!

Rep. John Mica is the new Chairman of the House Oversite/Investigations Committee. Anybody want to wager that first up for investigation is how the Patriots deflated those footballs?

Lol! I know this thread is old, but as I have been spending the whole day so far, perusing old threads seeking more info on Valerie, the Chicago crowd, and their Iranian/Saudi connections, your above post really made me laugh! So very succinct and true!
