And this is a threat?
This is not a threat, this is stupidity on display. Even without identifying the officials who were bribed, admitting bribes were paid for passage is another good indication the deal was flawed from inception and was approved by corrupt officials in return for money. Having said that, I hope the Iranians do release the names and the amounts of money paid. At least under US law, a public official can be held accountable for accepting a bribe in return for performing an official act. So, let’s get those names out in public. The sooner the better.
