- You coudln't discern facts if they were tattooed on your forehead; here's the $BILLIONS the Obamidiots (including Bidumb) handed to Iran:
- Obama Administration: As part of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), some Iranian funds held in foreign banks due to sanctions were unfrozen. The exact amount of usable funds accessed by Iran is disputed, with estimates ranging from $32 billion (according to a former Iranian official) to $56 billion (according to the US Treasury Secretary at the time).
- Obama Administration: In a separate event, the Obama administration transferred $1.7 billion in cash to Iran in 2016, which was a reimbursement for military equipment Iran had purchased from the US in the late 1970s but was never delivered. This payment was timed with the release of several American prisoners held in Iran.
- Biden Administration: In August 2023, the Biden administration allowed Iran access to $6 billion in oil assets frozen in South Korea in exchange for the release of five US hostages held in Iran. However, reports indicate that access to these funds was stalled following an agreement with Qatar in October 2023, meaning Iran may not have yet accessed this specific amount.
- Biden Administration: In March 2024, the Biden administration reportedly allowed Iran to access another $10 billion in frozen assets, according to DW.
- Biden Administration: In November 2024, the Biden administration renewed a sanctions waiver allowing Iraq to continue purchasing electricity from Iran and facilitating Iran's access to roughly $10 billion held in escrow in Iraq for electricity revenue. This waiver has been renewed multiple times and allows the funds to be used for humanitarian trade, such as food, medicine, and agricultural products. Some sources claim that the administration "granted" this money to Iran, while others emphasize that it allows access to funds already owed to Iran for energy sales.
Biden handed over $16 billion to Iran.
And have some more ACTUAL FACTS:
FROM AS FAR BACK AS Obama: (2015), Iran violating the bullshit treaty Iran used to scam the Dunce-o-crats.
Iran has consistently sought to hide its nuclear activities from the internationalcommunity and repeatedly cheated on past nuclear agreements. Both the Natanz and Fordow enrichment plants were built covertly; Iran has razed and paved over a suspected nuclear testing site at Parchin rather than let inspectors visit it; and Iran continued its nuclear activities after telling the European Union it would suspend them in 2003 and
failed to fully comply with the interim Joint Plan of Action that just expired. From the beginning of negotiations with Iran, it has been clear that a good deal would require not just constraining its nuclear program but also putting in place sufficient mechanisms to ensure that its compliance could be monitored and verified.
The final agreement announced on July 14, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), does contain significant enhancements to the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) current ability to monitor Iran’s nuclear facilities. The deal, President Obama told the nation, “is not built on trust, it is built on verification.”
Yet, one critical provision of the JCPOA puts unexpected limitations on inspectors’ access to certain facilities by requiring them to notify Iran first if they suspect a site might be being used for illicit nuclear activity and then undergoing a long process in order to gain entry to that site. This obstacle to inspections is worrying for several reasons:
- Iran could delay inspectors for as long as 54, not the commonly reported 24, days
- The burden of proof is on IAEA
- It chills intelligence sharing
- It discourages long shots
- It does not address a parallel enrichment program
- And it could allow for weaponization activities
Inspections at Declared vs. Suspicious Facilities
Under the JCPOA, Iran and the IAEA are required to draw up a list of “declared facilities,” sites that Iran agrees are part of its nuclear program. Pretty much every facility that we know about today?from the mines where Iran digs up uranium ore, to the factories that build its centrifuges, to the actual enrichment plants?will likely be put on this list. International inspectors would have wide-ranging access to these declared facilities and will be allowed to use modern technologies, including real-time monitoring, to verify that Iran is not violating any of its obligations at these sites.
Now, makeup some more bullshit.
