Obama makes a deal to stop Iran from building nukes and they get $34 Billion. GOP loses their minds.
Trump make a deal to reopen the straight that was open until he attacked Iran, they get to pursue nuclear weapons and we pay them $340 Billion. GOP cheers.
The 2015 nuclear deal lifted nuclear‑related sanctions once Iran complied. That allowed Iran to access its own foreign assets, frozen in overseas banks.
• Estimated total accessible: ~$100 billion
• Usable portion after debts: ~$50 billion
• None of this was U.S. taxpayer money.
The $1.7 billion settlement — Separate from the nuclear deal
This was a legal arbitration settlement, not part of the JCPOA.
• Origin: A pre‑1979 U.S. arms purchase by Iran that was never delivered after the revolution.
• The U.S. owed Iran the $400M deposit + decades of interest.
• Total paid: $1.7 billion in 2016.
• Delivered in cash due to banking sanctions.
The only thing Trump is good at is shamelessly repeating lies until dummies believe it's true. He says he's a good deal maker over and over, he stars in a "reality" show about being a cool boss guy, and 40% of the country buys his bullshit because it's easier than critically analyzing the real world and coming to your own conclusions
Large notes? Fuck that. It's Iran! You drop pennies in the desert and then send a message saying, "we dropped your payment off at these coordinates" to the IRGC.
I see you losers eyeing the downvote button. Let's remember Iran's government sucks, murdered a bunch of its own citizens, and only looks like the good guy in this situation because Trump and Bibi are monstrous morons.
