Quote:I'm saying they used that as the reason, but it was not the reason IMO. It was their justification. Iran knows it and that is why it is bad. We just paid a ransom to a known terrorist supporting country. We are open for business.

But the big fact remains that Iran was going to get that money anyway, as a matter of fact, if the US didn't settle the case we were going to have to fork over considerably more money to them.

" the Associated Press’s Matt Lee reports, the US government apparently concluded that it was going to lose the case — and lose big: Iran was seeking $10 billion in today’s dollars.

"US officials had expected a ruling on the Iranian claim from the tribunal any time, and feared a ruling that would have made the interest payments much higher," Lee writes.

So the Obama administration decided to settle out of court, opening up negotiations with Iran on the terms of the settlement. It did this at the same time it was negotiating the nuclear deal and the return of four US citizens who had been detained by Iran more recently. However, the people working on the nuclear deal and the prisoner release were different from the team working on the court case — some of whom had been involved with the claims tribunal for years.
