“The United States and Iran today have settled a long outstanding claim at the Iran-U.S. Claims Tribunal in the Hague,” the statement from Secretary of State John Kerry reads. “This specific claim was in the amount of a $400 million Trust Fund used by Iran to purchase military equipment from the United States prior to the break in diplomatic ties.”

The claim was first filed in 1981 when Iran had an outstanding order for military equipment under the regime, which the U.S. refused to fill after the Iranian revolution. The payment is in addition to the $100 to $150 billion of Iranian assets the United States agreed to unfreeze as part of the Iranian nuclear agreement.

To quote Mark Levin:

"Obama is now directly funding terrorism via Iran"

Yep. And Congress is party to it. Blatant, hardcore treason.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Obama and the Vichy Republicans are really going to put the screws to us this year.......

When they took over our embassy in 1979, we should have lined up squadrons of B52s wingtip to wingtip and carpet bombed that place from one end to another.

ABSOLUTELY ASTONISHING.

Isn’t it against the law to buy hostages? Is that not what Obama just did? Timing anyone?

Why lose millions when we can lose...billions?

[golux]

This is much bigger than buying hostages.
Obama may just have snuffed Israel.

In American taxpayer money? Uh no. It is Iran’s money that we were holding. why is that article title saying otherwise?

[onedoug]

The President, Congress, the Courts, the Navy....

God’s wrath?

[rlmorel]

These spineless, America-hating, weak, dictator-loving, immoral, statist pieces of crap from Barack Hussein Obama down to the lowest pieces of whale dung in our government including those in the Republican Party who went along with it did this to cater to the scum who want a world court to decide these things.

The same people in the word court who stuck their fingers up their asses, did nothing, and secretly (or not so secretly) rejoiced America had a spineless POS in the White House who they knew would do nothing more than piss and moan.

[rlmorel]

As far as I am concerned, the Iranians flatly lost any right to that money when they overtly committed an act of war.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

I agree about its affect on Israel. SHAME ON OBAMA!!!! But he can claim his betrayal of Israel is legal. I don’t think it is legal to buy hostages.

[Straight Vermonter]

Jeez I am amazed that no one else pointed that out.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

They take our Navy vets hostage, make them kneel and apologize and we reward them by giving them billions.
