The Obama
administration said on Wednesday that $400 million in cash paid to Iran
soon after the release of five Americans detained by Tehran was not
ransom as some Republicans have charged.
The
five, including Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian, were released
on Jan. 16 in exchange for seven Iranians held in the United States for
sanctions violations. The prisoner deal coincided with the lifting of
international sanctions against Tehran.
At
the time, the United States said it had settled a longstanding Iranian
claim at the Iran-U.S. Claims Tribunal in The Hague, releasing $400
million in funds frozen since 1981, plus $1.3 billion in interest that
was owed to Iran.
LIAR! if it wasn't ransom WHY WAS IT NOT PAID IN US DOLLARS!...because its against the law of the land...
IMPEACH THIS LIAR!
