U.S. Sent Cash to Iran as Americans Were Freed

Quote:What happened to caps lock?


This also begs another question then. Why on earth are we sending them money? We can't wire them funds, but we can pay them in cash? Does that not sound stupid? Again, serious question and nothing to do with conspiracy.
 

I generally only go to caps lock when repeating something for the third time.  Figured it best to change it up when it wasn't noticed the first two times.

 

Why are we sending them money?  Well it goes back to an unreturned payment that Iran made to us in 1979 that was just recently settled in the Iran-U.S. Claims Tribunal in Den Hague.

 

The fact it was paid in foreign currency was indeed a loophole around the US Currency to Iran prohibitions.  The fact it was paid in hard currency is because the US does not have any banking relationship with Iran.  Iran is not on the global banking network.  It was literally impossible to do a direct wire transfer to them.
