For months the Obama administration has argued the issue of Iran sponsoring terrorism around the world and the regime's "bad behavior" are separate issues from their nuclear program. As part of the nuclear deal reached and announced by President Obama last week, Iran will have access to $150 billion in funds that were formerly frozen and unavailable to the regime. Critics of the plan have warned that a new influx of cash with little stipulation will allow Iran to use that money to further fund terrorism through Hezbollah and Hamas in the region and around the world.
Up until now, the President and other White House officials have said "their hope" is that the Iranian regime will use the new cash to invest in its economy and people, rather than terrorism.
White House press secretary Josh Earnest acknowledged Tuesday that the U.S. cannot proscribe how Iran chooses to spend the money it will get as sanctions are eased under a proposed nuclear deal.
But he said it was common sense to expect that the regime would use it to improve the ailing economy, rather than to step up funding for terrorism or destabilizing activities in the region.
I do think that a common-sense look at what kind of pressure theyre reacting to indicates that their priority will be to use those [newly-available] resources to address the persistent economic problems in the country.
But late last week during an interview with CNN, White House National Security Advisor Susan Rice admitted Iran might use some of their new money to fund "bad behavior," which is diplomatic code speech for terrorism.
"We should expect that some portion of that money would go to the Iranian military and could potentially be used for the kinds of bad behavior that we've seen in the region up until now," Rice said.

Iran is the world's most prolific state sponsor of terrorism and the Obama administration, "international community" and the UN just gave them more money and power to continue their "bad behavior" without consequence. What could possibly go wrong?
Just what did Iran give up for all of this? Don’t see anything mentioned. For that matter, what did Cuba give up?
Israel is probably placing Sleeper Cells threw out the world and if Israel Dies so will the Savages that caused it
Gee, ya friggin’ THINK, Susan???
Known LIAR Susan Rice, for the record.
Translation: "They are going to use the money for terrorism and we don't care."
Lord, deliver us from evil. How this stands I’m sure I don’t know, but I have no confidence in our majorities in Congress stopping anything.
They seem to be content having moved into the dark side on a permanent basis.
So, we are directly funding Shiite terrorism. How long before an attorney brings that up in a funding terrorist organizations trial? Can Obama and Kerry be prosecuted for this violation of criminal laws? Are we now funding Hezbollah and ISIS at the same time? Will we send arms to Hezbollah and Hamas?
...which was the plan all along.
...and how much was she paid for that piece of information....
Dearest susan: May Justice find you for your many crimes against reason, logic and the American People.
