U.S. Treasury allows transfer of $550 million to Iran

Feb 3, 2014 6:20 pm By Robert Spencer

iranThat’ll buy a few nukes. Hey, thanks, Barack. “U.S. Treasury confirms $550 mln transfer to Iran,” from Reuters, February 3 (thanks to Jerk Chicken):

Feb 3 (Reuters) – The U.S. Treasury Department on Monday confirmed that it has allowed the transfer of $550 million in Iran’s frozen oil revenues to the country under an interim nuclear deal.

A U.S. Treasury spokeswoman said the transfer began Jan. 31 and would be complete early this week but declined to specify which foreign banks were involved.

No U.S. banks were involved in the transactions, but the United States, which has extensive sanctions on Iran tied to its disputed nuclear program, helped facilitate the transfer of funds, the spokeswoman said.

The money is the first installment of $4.2 billion in blocked oil funds that were to be made available to Iran under the nuclear deal signed in November. Iran received limited sanctions relief in exchange for agreeing to curb its nuclear activities.

    Am I delusional , or didn’t an Iranian general, just YESTERDAY say that the regime has identified targets within the US to bring it to it’s knees and they they have OPERATIVES on foreign soil ( US ) ready to strike at the appropriate time?

    WTF?

    And the US is giving them hundreds of millions of dollars in a nuke disarmament deal with this very same regime?

    Man, the IDEA of a peaceful islam seems to far out weigh the reality.

    Prez Obama has been a busy guy. His socialist economic policies have made us poorer. Destroying the nation’s healthcare system will make us less healthy. Turning loose an aggressive Islamic Republic with ICBM nukes will make us a lot less secure and ultimately a lot less healthy.

    A bad deal. They should back away and ask for more negotiating. Iran is not dealing in good faith with very unfriendly statements like that. Until there is a change in the Iranian leadership, this deplorable diplomatic childishness will go on.

    I can’t believe the arrogance of this most horrible president! Oh, we so need to give him a pink slip, he is destroying everything we hold dear and now giving money in vast amounts to our enemies!!!!! When are we going to DEMAND he step down or we will throw him out!!!!!!! Whichever is fine with me just so long as he is gone. I personally want him thrown in prison for treason and given only bread and water. Just throw him in a hole with NO special treatment!! This man MUST go!!!!
