A judge has ordered Iran to pay $63.5 million to a former U.S. Marine who was jailed in that country for more than four years.
Judge Ellen Huvelle of the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., granted Amir Hekmatis motion for a default judgment after Iran failed to respond to the complaint. Hekmati, who was released in January 2016, alleged he was falsely imprisoned and tortured. [

Hekmati was detained in August 2011 on espionage charges. He says he went to Iran to visit family and spend time with his ailing grandmother.

Dozens of lawsuits against Iran were held up by the previous administration after a judge ordered Iranian assets in the US sold to pay them.
Wonder where the Iranian money is now?

Obama shouldn’t have given terror state Iran all of those billions. Could have paid him out of those funds.

Make Obama pay. He gave the Irans more than $150 Billion in blood money. Now it’s his turn to cough it up.

If only we had some impounded Iranian assets that could be used to pay the Marine...

Seems to me that this Marine would be unwise to hold his breath while waiting for the check.
