The choice was clear: Bomb Iran or build fallout shelters
Democrats desperately want America to lose this war
------------------------
They don't want Republicans to succeed where they've proven they
can't.
I doubt Iran would be allowed to risk nuclear escalation, but they
might use Russian missile technology to attack US cities with
conventional warhead ICBMs.
Repuglicans love war. Obama brokerd a peaceful solution to Iran
nukes,
1.8 BILLION US taxpayer dollars to build more "peaceful but deadly"
bottle rockets, right traitor LeRoy?
FOAD, you scumsucking pustule.
$1.7 Billion Settlement (2016): The Obama administration transferred $1.7 billion in cash to Iran in 2016. This was part of a settlement for a failed arms deal from the 1970s prior to the Iranian Revolution.
$400 million was the principal amount of the trust fund.
$1.3 billion was in accumulated interest.
Cash Delivery: The initial $400 million was flown into Iran on a plane on the same day American prisoners were released, which the Obama administration later acknowledged was used as leverage.
Sanctions Relief (JCPOA): Under the 2015 nuclear deal (JCPOA), an
estimated $100 billion in Iranian assets were unfrozen globally, though
some estimates suggest the usable liquid assets were closer to $50
billion due to debts and obligations.
Biden Administration ($16 Billion +)
$6 Billion Hostage Deal (2023): In a 2023 prisoner swap, $6 billion in frozen Iranian funds was transferred from South Korea to Qatar, though this was later restricted following the October 7 Hamas attack.
$10 Billion Electricity Revenue (2023rCo2024): Waivers allowed Iran to
access roughly $10 billion in electricity sales revenue from Iraq for humanitarian goods.
