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.

Just look at this great moth eaten rug Obama just
bought for 11 billion from an Iranian in the Souk.
Pretty neat huh.
Will Barry get a kickback for his Retirement ?
Is this Iranian money being unfrozen from previously frozen accounts, or is this US tax dollars?
I have no idea how Obama could possibly top the complete idiocy of this one,
but I'm sure he already has the plan written out on Jarretts lips.
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.
“Will Barry get a kickback for his Retirement ?”
It’s called baksheesh. Iran invented the term. It’s how things are done there. They’d expect to pay somebody.
no. we are (or rather, Obama is) paying the enemy to build up its (nuclear bomb and missile) arsenal as fast as possible.
You are correct. It is pure insanity. Why do taxpayers have to pay the people who want to kill us?
>> 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.
PLEASE don’t give that country wrecking monkey any ideas!
Isn’t this Iran’s money that was frozen in the US?
That and advance warning when/where they drop nukes on us. He'll probably be safely retired in Hawaii when all hell breaks loose against us.
wait what??
why are funding our enemies??
I believe it is the stuff from Iran’s frozen accounts, not that it matters much other than it is Obama’s way of propping up the regime there by ‘recognizing’ the Iranian revolutionary group as the ‘legitimate government.’
So long as Iran continues to call for our destruction that money should remain frozen.
This is how we negotiate now. We give ultimatums, and when the other side refuses to heed, we move the goal post, change the deadline, or claim that that ultimatum wasn’t really explained properly. Then the other side says “well look at all the damage you did by issuing an ultimatum you didn’t honor” and we say sorry and give them money.
So they’ll kill us last?/sarc
Barry giving the Muzzies 12 billion to kill us. What a guy!!!
Iran learned from North Korea...except this is supposedly Iran’s money anyway.. North Korea learned to make promises in return for OUR money. They got OUR money and never kept the promises. What idiocy to believe Iran will do anything different?
