The 1.7B was for freeing hostages,


It was in conjunction with the JCPOA

President Barack Obama approved the $400 million transfer, which he had announced in January as part of the Iran nuclear deal. The money was flown into Iran on wooden pallets stacked with Swiss francs, euros and other currencies as the first installment of a $1.7 billion settlement resolving claims at an international tribunal at The Hague over a failed arms deal under the time of the Shah.

This is great

They charged that the administration had empowered a major sponsor of terrorism because the nuclear agreement enables Tehran to re-enter the international economy and gives it access long-frozen funds.


quote:

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump jumped on the issue, seeking to change the subject after a punishing week of gaffes and reproaches from members of the GOP.

“Iran was in big trouble, they had sanctions, they were dying, we took off the sanctions and made this horrible deal and now they’re a power,” Trump said Wednesday in Daytona, Florida.

Obama unfroze and they most certainly did not behave. That's a fact.

Trump's deal potentially unfreezes $100B of Iran's money on the condition they behave and follow the deal


Potentially unfreezes money.

Now you tell me, is there a difference between guilty and potentially guilty? I mean, hell, we've been told that you're a very astute lawyer who measures his words carefully. Are you saying "potentially" at this point so when it doesn't come to fruition you can once again claim "I never said that" on a technicality of phrasing or verbiage?

The potential was about the whole $100B. Reports are the first chunk will be $26-36B rather quickly while they negotiate the details.

Even if it ends there, that's 15.3 - 21.2x the Obama transfer of $1.7B

I just can’t connect these dots. If it were the case, Trump would be saying that 100 times a day

This deal follows the same pattern at about a 58x larger scale
Obama did nothing to them and gave them appeasement money.

Trump bombed the hell out of them, killed a metric ton of their military leaders and equipment, blockaded their strait which was costing them astronomical sums of money each day and THEN made a deal

There's no way you can conflate the 2. They're not in the same universe

Factually incorrect. Right before the deal, we were escorting ships through the minefield, which is super dangerous btw. But don't say anything about this

SFP, I'm serious. I'm wondering if you could ever be right about anything. You are wrong on pretty much every topic you post about. Normal people would be incredibly embarrassed.

Oh good christ.

Do a little more research.

The 1.7 was the cash settlement part.
And if you were around when it happened, you'll know it was a hostage swap, plain and simple.

The 50-100 billion was unfrozen assets.

Do you lack thoroughness like this with your profession?

That was the attempted spin. It did not work for rational people.

Trump is spoon-feeding it to us, begging for us to make the connection.

He plainly lays out how Obama gave Iran nuclear weapons, and then says those weapons would have been used to strike Israel.

Trump is telling us that Obama tried to start WW3, and we just prevented it. That’s what all of this has been about from the beginning.

This is about Obama, his co-conspirators, and his handlers, who are responsible for arming the world’s #1 sponsor of terror, with nuclear weapons, with the intent of starting a world war.

That’s the big secret, and that’s why the Obama administration deployed all assets to prevent Trump from getting into office, because they knew these crimes would be exposed.

Treason is an understatement. This is something else entirely.


This is Q level BS, remember how we're all still waiting for the "storm"?

How much of this was actually transferred to Iran? Please cite a reputable source on this.

It’s always fascinating how every disagreement eventually becomes the biggest crime in human history.

Healthcare policy? Treason.

Immigration policy? Treason.

Foreign policy? Treason.

Obama negotiated an agreement you didn’t like? Apparently he tried to trigger World War III.

At some point “treason” stops meaning anything and just becomes another word for “stuff that makes maga-cult angry.”

Let's say that's true, and then they prove widespread election fraud, and that biological women are in fact the only women, when do we get to start openly stringing up the leftists? Asking for a friend.

Has anyone noticed a change lately? SFP used to argue endlessly about banal semantics and muddle topics with semiotic nonsense.

This week SFP is basically saying up is down in multiple threads and then digging heels in even in the face of patently true evidence.
