It truly is bizarre world.

Theresa should have to pay that back personally.

Question. Is the money going to Iran an actual US donation to a worthy cause (sarcasm) or is it Iranian assets that have been frozen throughout the sanctions? Because if it's Iran's money, I'd think it wouldn't need spending approval.

Makes me wonder if this isn't just more grandstanding from the HOR to distract us from all the things they have funded but could've stopped.

More aid and comfort to the enemy by the Traitorobama regime.

And Traitorcongress will end up doing..................................................... nothing.

Kerry and his family gets some of the money
back through his daughter’s Iranian husband.

Isn’t that special?

[JudyinCanada]

Unreal. So this bad actor nation is so threatening that it has its assets frozen, then they get paid interest? Only with the Obama regime.

Top House Republican demands Kerry explain $1.7 billion Iran payment

And if he doesn't, then what? What if you don't like his answer?

What'cha gonna do?

[UCANSEE2]

So.... we just had $1.3 BILLION laying around somewhere, free and clear ?

The State Department LOST $6 billion (under Hillary).

How did the State Department even have $6 BILLION to lose ?

[Vinnie]

Didn’t we, the US public, pay each Iran Hostage $4+mil ?
None of the money came from these funds?

[justa-hairyape]

According to Obama Muslims help maintain peace. So he was investing in world peace.

[kabar]

It was a ransom payment to get our hostages back.

[vpintheak]

I hate wishy-washy words like “it is unclear how...”
Just call it what it is! It was ransom paid to Iran. It was misuse of tax dollars! It is another reason to terminate and impeach!

[Impy]

The assets were rightly frozen in 1979 when the scum held Americans captive. It should be forfeit. To return it with interest is no less than treason.
