The South Korean government has agreed to unlock part of about $9 billion in frozen Iranian assets that were formerly unavailable because of U.S. sanctions on Iran. The Iranian foreign ministry indicated the money would be used to expand humanitarian aid and won’t violate the sanctions.
Seoul says that part of the money will be used to pay past-due Iranian dues to the UN.
Just coincidentally, Iran seized a South Korean tanker and its crew members last month. I’m sure the unblocking of the assets had nothing to do with Iran taking its ship and people hostage.
As soon as South Korea agreed to talk about the blocked funds, the hostages were released.
According to Iran’s government website, the agreement was reached Monday (Tehran time) during the meeting between Iran’s Central Bank Gov. Abdolnaser Hemmati and South Korean Ambassador to Iran Ryu Jeong-hyun.
It said that the two sides agreed on the destinations for the transfer and that the Iranian central bank informed Seoul of the amount of the money it wants to be transferred.
Tehran has been pressuring Seoul to unblock about US$7 billion of its assets frozen in two South Korean banks due to U.S. sanctions. Seoul has been in talks with Washington on ways to release the money without violating the sanctions, including expanding humanitarian trade with the Middle Eastern country.
The Jerusalem Post calls it “another win for Iran.”
This is the latest win for Iran, as it has also been wringing concessions from Europe, as well as the IAEA, and has been using proxies in Iraq and Yemen to attack US partners and allies.

[With Joe Biden’s Blessing, South Korea to Partially Unlock $9 Billion in Iran Assets]
Oh good. Iran’s mullahs would never lie about what the money is used for.
And they would never try to destroy Israel. /Ezekiel 38
Gonna be a very bad day for the mullahs. They won’t listen.
They would not listen. They’re not listening still.
Perhaps they never will. (no ‘perhaps’ about it - Ezekiel 38 WILL come)
“Humanitarian Aid” wanna bet how much of this money gets funneled to groups whose definition of “humanitarian” is to kinda make Israel an afterthought?
How many A-bombs will the Mullahs be able to make now that they have the money to finish the job?
Leftists just can’t take a pass on rewarding our enemies.
Has anyone called Netanyahu yet?
Candygram...
Mongo also love speak in 3rd-person about himself!
10% for the Big Guy...
(Music sting)
I’ve got pallets, pallets of cash! All for the taking. Come get your stash. Don’t think we’re watching what you do with it. You aren’t Americans so we won’t have a fit.
I’ve got pallets, yeah pallets of cash. All for the taking. It’s yours at last. We’re here to help you do all that you can. Baby’s got pallets, pallets of cash!
Joe Biden did? Maybe Valerie Jarrett did.
...and the Iranian people continue to suffer under the mullahs. Trump had’em by the balls, now Bidet is kissing their obamas.
Old crazy uncle Joe is responsible for terrorist attacks going forward.
I hope Netanyahu tells Biden where he can put it.
Joe biden and his associares here and abroad are doing much more then unfreezing assets to rogue terrorist nations, the outcome is that they are unlocking the freeze that God placed on His wrath.
The days are few. Jesus is at the door, in fact He is the Door.
Choose this day Whom you will serve.
Were going home Brother. Soon and very soon!
Maybe he shouldn’t take Biden’s call when he does get around
to it.
