Iran: $100 bln in assets ‘fully released’ under nuclear deal

Feb 1, 2016 8:23 am By Robert Spencer

Peace in our time! What could possibly go wrong? Iran just gave war hero medals to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps members who captured ten U.S. Navy sailors last month, and even John Kerry admits that some of this money will go to jihad terrorists, but hey, let’s not get hung up over details.

Zarif-laughing

“Iran: $100 bln in assets ‘fully released’ under nuclear deal,” Associated Press, February 1, 2016 (thanks to Lookmann):

Iran says it now has access to more than $100 billion worth of frozen overseas assets following the implementation of the nuclear deal with world powers.

Government spokesman Mohammad Bagher Nobakht says much of the money had been piling up in banks in China, India, Japan, South Korea and Turkey since international sanctions were tightened in 2012 over Tehran’s nuclear program. His comments were posted on the website of state-run Press TV on Monday.

The landmark agreement brought about the lifting of international sanctions last month after the U.N. verified that Iran had curbed its nuclear activities….

    The US government’s claim is that the money being “released” originally belonged to Iran, but what evidence is there that the $100 billion ever belonged to Iran? Could it simply be a payment for some temporary cooperation? If that is the case (I don’t know if it is), it’s a very convenient way to funnel money to Iran. It wouldn’t surprise me to find that part of the deal is for Iran to kick some of the money back to supporters of the Democratic Party in the US.

      I’ll bet a nice little chunk if this money is now in the hands of K street and pols.

      I don’t care what the yanks do, Iran still isn’t getting their Challengers back or the money.

    Just don’t go calling it treason.
    It’s ok for the Obama Admin to do treason but saying it isn’t ok.

    Excellent! Hope Obama gives away more of my tax money to Iran, Turkey, Pakistan and Afganistan and other Muslim countries so that they like us and kill us more humanely. Inshallah!

    Iran says it now has access to more than $100 billion worth of frozen overseas assets following the implementation of the nuclear deal with world powers.

    That’s inaccurate. It should read “world powers plus the US and EU”.

    Obama has as much distance for Israel as the Palestinians. Maybe Obama is using Iran to get Israel destroyed. Or start a war.

    What fools and suckers those in power in this tyrannical Islamic regime have played Obama, Kerry and the other naive and gullible politicians of the West for . In this worthless travesty oft a “deal” with this Islamic tyranny of Iran. Now this brutal rouge regime will be able to better send even more finds ,arms and other supplies to vicious murderous jihad terror entities. Such as Hezbollah, Hamas and ,strangely enough even the Taliban The officials of the mullahs and the other Islamic fiends in power with their deceptive,disingenuous and outright lying words really pulled the wool over the eyes of those Western politicians. Instead,of a actual genuine deal there is a so called “deal’ that’s a farce, a hoax and a disaster.

    The deal with Iran should have forced reforms in Iran such as human rights reforms and not to release the money until some kind of changes occur because to reward a regime while they are committing human rights abuses doesn’t sound right.

      You mean like how America rewards a half dozen bastard regimes, including saudi arabia?

      I don’t remember the yanks demanding human rights reforms in excahnge for selling saudi your shiny M1 Abrahms

        It’s unfortunate that human rights issues don’t seem to matter anymore in dealings between governments. All that seems to matter is the money and oil.
