Iran May Have Received as Much as $33.6 Billion in Cash, Gold Payments From U.S.

Iran may have received an additional $33.6 billion in secret cash and gold payments facilitated by the Obama administration between 2014 and 2016, according to testimony provided before Congress by an expert on last summer’s nuclear agreement with Iran.

Between January 2014 and July 2015, when the Obama administration was hammering out the final details of the nuclear accord, Iran was paid $700 million every month from funds that had previously been frozen by U.S. sanctions.

A total of $11.9 billion was ultimately paid to Iran, but the details surrounding these payments remain shrouded in mystery, according to Mark Dubowitz, executive director at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.

In total, “Iran may have received as much as $33.6 billion in cash or in gold and other precious metals,” Dubowitz disclosed.

New questions about these payments are emerging following confirmation from top Obama administration officials on Thursday that it was forced to pay Iran $1.7 billion in cash prior to the release of several U.S. hostages earlier this year. The administration insisted that cash had to be used for this payment.

Top administration officials were adamant that the cash payments were the best way to ensure that Iran got immediate access to this money due to its ongoing difficulty accessing international funds still sanctioned by the West.

It seems that Democrats — Obama, Jarrett, Clinton — view foreign policy as a profit center. How much of this money ended up in their offshore bank accounts?

Show is the treasonous Obama Regime getting this money?
Where is it coming from? The House of Representatives must
appropriate this money with legislation and the Senate must concur.
Where Is That Damned Appropriation Bill!
Who sponsored it?!!!!
When was it passed!!
This criminal Congress and Administration must be
brought to justice for this treason!

Wonder how many billions were paid in gold? Gold in anticipation of The coming financial collapse? I still think our nation is being blackmailed for a whole lot more than the released prisoners.

I think you are onto something.

I think Obama sees himself as the muslim unifier--bringing all muslims together.

Once the world is under muslim rule, the differences can be sorted out.

Actually, it's a very good bottom line approach...if you are a wannabee Mahdi.

OK kids, is he a Shiite or a Sunni? Or is he the Great Muslim unifier/facilitator?

Oh, he's full of shiite alright, and sunni not admit.

Muslim unifier? Maybe, for sure he's no American unifier.

It's not blackmail when the cash is sent without compensation or return.

It's a gift.

"Show" should be "How".
Apologies for the typo.
But just reading about this US Gov./Democrat Party ripoff the
American Peoples Treasure has just about caused me to lose
my dinner.

I wonder how much they gave the Castro
Regime in Cuba to be nice to Obama??

I also wonder how much of the 33 or so billion dollars
Obama and his Democrats helped themselves to? What Republican
Congress critters got paid off to look the other way?
The UniParty/Globalist Congressional Cabal,
looking after America's interests again.

OK...this is getting interesting. The money went somewhere, but I bet it all did not go to Iran.

I look for Iran to announce they didn’t get no where near that amount and Obamie is going to get caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
