I finally looked that up. Well, that number you have stated is the highest estimate and the one with the least evidence. Other sources, such as the US Treasury and independent experts claim the number to be ~$50 Billion. That money came from their unfrozen assets mostly, those being unfrozen due to the Iran Nuclear Deal. So its less Obama giving Iran free Cash and more like handing them their money back.

The fact that it was “handed back” on pallets of cash...in the middle of the night - doesn’t raise an eyebrow? Not even a smidgen? Lol

That is also untrue and funnily enough unrelated to the Iran nuclear Deal. In a deal struck before the 1970s revolution the Iranian government bought weapons from the US. They paid for them but the promised goods never arrived. While they only gave the US 55 Million dollars, the interest accumulated over the last 25 years easily raised the Summ to 1.7 Billion Dollars. That money was also returned to Iran. Though I cannot say more on that topic.

That was the money that was supposedly transported in Pallets and Barrels. That also didn't happen that way. As far as I can tell the money was transferred physically but not on Pallets nor Barrels. Atleast according to credible news sources and the US Government.

The belief that the money was transported in Pallets was actually born in rumours

Fool, who gives a shit. Iran wants the US and you burnt to a crisp.

Steal their stuff and use their men and buildings for target practice.

Screw um.

They're blinded by their hatred for the US. They would sacrifice billions of lives for the chance to leave their radioactive footprint on the US.

I couldn't care less about what a pile of shit thinks about my country and I'm super thankful I have a president who shares that opinion.

I guess that is a fair point. Still, the Iran Nuclear deal was meant to start cooling relations between the US and Iran so such sentiments were washed away by the flow of time. And believe me Iran got the short end of the stick as they had to give independent Inspectors from the U.N. full access to everything relating to their Nuclear program. However I understand the critique of the action.

Lol. You need to do more research. Why was McCain in Syria? Why did Trump shoot missiles at Syria? Why did he really?

What? What? What? What f**king missiles? Were talking about Afghanistan. I f**king well know why Trump shot missiles at Syria, but we aren't talking about that.

O rly?

Actually we're talking about Iran. Yes, Syria is a player. If you think the Iran Nuclear deal was a positive thing, you don't know jack.

Alright fine. I can see that a discussion about this will lead nowhere. You can believe that, though I shall remain confused as to why the topic changed to Syria.

I posted a link. It's long...

If you want to know why i brought up Syria then you can spend the 30 minutes figuring it out by watching the vid. I'm not wasting 30 mins gathering all the necessary news articles and whutnot so you can stonewall me anyway.

Nothing about the Iran Deal was good. It was literally treason. Obama should be hung for it.

Don't mind him the tin foil nutter, he claims McCain hand delivered terrorists in Syria unranium so they can use it for 6 mini tiny nukes the size of a loaf of bread that are as destructive as a stick of dynamite because simply using TNT is just too easy.

Wrong.
Two separate nuclear incidents.

Try looking something up for once, you lying Russian hack, and stop looking like an imbecile.

Just kidding. That's a look that can't be taken away in your case.

Don't forget the bow on top and the balloons tied to the corners ot the pallet.

"I saw it in a meme so it's true"

You can Botox your eyebrows to the top of your forehead if you want, the money returned to Iran was from bank acounts frozen by Carter in 1979 - a violation of international law, btw - in response to the Hostage Crisis.

You CAN look this up, you know.
