Iran continues to profit handsomely off of Obama’s presidency. The Obama administration said that the $1.3 billion paid in January, just two days after the ransom payment of $400 million in cash was delivered, to resolve an old dispute .
The dispute dates back to the 1970s, when the then U.S.-backed shah purchased military equipment for $400 million. Due to the Islamic Revolution, the equipment was never delivered because the shah was overthrown and diplomatic ties were severed.
The dollar figure, $1.3 billion, is what the U.S. and Iran agreed would be the interest on the $400 million in principal over all these years. In January, the $400 million was delivered on pallets transporting the euros, Swiss francs and numerous other foreign currency to Tehran.
The Obama Administration finally acknowledged that the timing of this payment was leverage to ensure the release of the hostages.
Leverage or a ransom – a rose is a rose by any other name. Obama negotiated with terrorists.

Why are we giving this trash money? For what? Sick of this idiot. Never voted for him. Never liked him
We are going to be at war with these guys in a few months, Obama should stop arming them. They have seen nothing but weakness from us for 8 years. Our military has been hamstrung by the weak politicians. If Hillary wins the muzzies won’t respect her and they will become bolder and we will be attacked. If Trump wins they will know we are going to start becoming stronger so they will start$#%&!@*while we are unprepared. Either way we will probably be at odds, or possibly war with Iran during the next president’s term.
