Cash to Iran

The financial aspects of the Iran nuclear deal formulated under Obama in 2015 have now been made clear. First off, the $400 million that was frozen when the Shah was deposed was released. Hostage Release: An initial $400 million was delivered on Jan. 17, 2016, the same day Iran released four American prisoners. While the Obama administration initially stated the incidents were separate, they later acknowledged the payment was used as leverage to ensure the Americans were released $1.3 billion in cash was delivered to Iran is Swiss Franks and Euro’s. To avoid triggering banking regulations related to large, single transactions, the $1.3 billion was divided into 13 separate payments of $99,999,999.99, and one final, smaller payment. There is much speculation that some of this money was used to finance Hamas and Hezbollah but there is no way to follow these dollars as they were comingled with other Iranian assets.
