WTF? Obama Admin Says They Have Transferred First Installment of $550 Million To Iran As Part of Nuke Deal


For What?

From Reuters:
The U.S. Treasury Department on Monday confirmed that it has allowed the transfer of $550 million in Iran’s frozen oil revenues to the country under an interim nuclear deal. 
A U.S. Treasury spokeswoman said the transfer began Jan. 31 and would be complete early this week but declined to specify which foreign banks were involved. 
No U.S. banks were involved in the transactions, but the United States, which has extensive sanctions on Iran tied to its disputed nuclear program, helped facilitate the transfer of funds, the spokeswoman said. 
The money is the first installment of $4.2 billion in blocked oil funds that were to be made available to Iran under the nuclear deal signed in November. 
Iran received limited sanctions relief in exchange for agreeing to curb its nuclear activities.

Pastorius, what do you mean "For what?" For the only purpose of creating chaos, accelerating the crisis in the Middle East, and throwing us and the rest of the world in a self-destructing downward spiral which very shortly will be totally out of control. His mission will be accomplished, and his family legacy fulfilled.

You guys have been provided lots of evidence.

The question was meant thusly,

"What has Iran done that would cause us to give them a half billion dollars?"

We gave them a sweetheart deal, lightened their load, AND we're giving them a half billion?

What the fuck?

It doesn't make any sense.

Of course, we know Obama is trying to set up the Muslims to be a geopolitical counterbalance to the United States, because he believes all power should be equitably shared, and besides they are his Muslims brothers.
