TEHRAN Iranian Government Spokesman Mohammad-Baqer Nobakht has confirmed news about releasing $8 billion of its blocked assets by the U.S. after Iran and the six major powers reached a deal on Irans nuclear program on Sunday.
The recent nuclear deal will have a great positive effect on the Iranian economy, IRNA quoted Nobakht as saying on Monday.
The former chairman of Iran's Chamber of Commerce, Industries, and Mines, Alinaqi Khamoushi, announced on Sunday that the U.S. has released $8 billion of Iran's frozen assets.
He said the nuclear agreement reached between Iran and the P5+1 group -- Britain, China, France, Russia and the U.S. plus Germany - in Geneva Sunday morning, was an opening up of Iran's economic relations with the world.
According to the deal, Tehran will offer some concessions in exchange for limited relief from the sanctions imposed on the country.

Obama makes Jimmy Carter look like Ronald Reagan.
Someday, God will judge Barry Soetoro.
I am so upset this is happening. Iran will get all this and be able to nuke Israel. Just horrendous.
Follow that money.
What, specifically, and not generally, will Iran be required to concede? And exactly how will these concessions be verified, and by whom?
Oh, yeah, Obama. "Don't worry about the small stuff. We got this. Valerie will take care of the verification."
“Iran will get all this and be able to nuke Israel. Just horrendous.”
Just part of the plan...
Remember, we aren’t dealing with Democrats anymore, but Radical Academic Socialist anti-semites.
This has been a huge diplomatic and strategic victory for Iran. Not only have they been granted over $5 billion dollars and huge loopholes through the remaining sanctions, they are now a signatory to an “international peace agreement”. Meanwhile the centrifuges keep spinning and Iran makes no pretense of giving up its nuclear ambitions. If Israel attacks, it faces international condemnation and reprisals. If it doesn’t attack, it must live with a bizarre, theocratic , nuclear armed dictatorship who’s leaders have made apocalyptic threats to destroy Israel and annihilate its people. Hopefully the Congress will hold hearings and let Kerry try to explain just how and why he committed the United States to this fantasy.
Does anyone still believe O’Dumby is not a mussy?
I know it is all part of the plan. Just so upsetting they are getting away with it.
Blatant violation of law. Yes, the sanctions were pursuant to Congressional mandate and signed off on by past Presidents.
What he gave them is an unauthorized signing bonus
On the series, Homeland, the current plot involves the insertion of a CIA asset into a high-ranking position in the Iranian govt. The plot continues with the hope that through this asset, peaceful talks will finally begin between the US and Iran. Parallels? Also, a subplot casts Israeli intelligence in bad light, collaborating with an antagonistic, unlikable Senator.
I think John Kerry just gave all of our lunch money to the little schoolyard bully.
Obama is building a website where they will list and measure the progress of the concessions.
...into Obamba abd ValJar’s pockets. That is all this “deal” has ever bee about!
I wonder how much the Norks want for a nuclear warhead.
What a lesson. Get your bomb as a criminal, Obama wants then to talk and use that to unfreeze the assets.
