Under the arrangement, Qatar would allow purchases of food, medicine, and other humanitarian goods ordered by Iran's central bank using frozen Iranian assets, mainly cash from oil sales locked up overseas by sanctions, the people said.

Where are the “money is fungible” right wingers who screamed for months that if you give Iran $1, you are buying weapons for Iran because money is fungible?

So is Trump buying Iran weapons or not?

I'm fairly sure that a significant portion of the frozen Iranian assets is to also be used to repair damage caused to neighboring countries oil facilities by Iranian weapons. That is, funds are released, Iran is credited with the release however money transfers to damaged countries for repair.

This is similar to how a general contractor handles a subcontractor who causes damage to another sub's work.

It's been posted multiple times. I probably read it in the pinned war thread at the top of the page. I've read every page there and stick mostly to that thread.

That thread probably wouldn't interest you and is very dry and boring. You probably would be wasting your time there I'd bet.

It’s estimated we did $250BB in damage to Irans economy so releasing a paltry $12BB for humanitarian aid isn’t the solid it appears.
Unlike the free money sent by Barry & Co.

It looks to me like Qatar is going to sell Iran sandwiches and bandaids using Iran's frozen assets as payment.

But none of this will happen because of the ignorance of the Iranian leadership.

Now they won't allow inspections.

So was the 1.7 Billion “pallets of cash” that Obama released.


Was this a cash payment directly from America and not Iran’s money ?

Yes, the United States Treasury is planning to make frozen Iranian assets available to Persian Gulf allies to fund repairs for damages to oil facilities and infrastructure caused by Iranian and Iranian-backed missile and drone attacks.

Trump didn't either he actually took the foot off Iran's throat for some bizarre reason(s). Iran controls the straight so no, we didn't "bomb them into last century". Some of you need to learn to math. 1.7 Billion is a pittance compared to the 'deal' Trump is trying to orchestrate.

Wasn’t that 1.7 billion actually interest that Obama agreed to pay on top of releasing Iran’s billions prior ? That would be money that was never theirs

The $100B or so that Iran now will have access to also includes interest

This was very well executed sir. For years I had to listen to the MAGA folks tell me that Obama had given billions to terrorists in Iran, can’t wait to hear the spin on this.

The TD Poli board… where Bloomberg is fake news and some incel in a basement posting as “libsgonewild” on X is 100% legit.

Oh no, they can buy food and medicine in exchange for not making war. How horrible.
