So you think the usa should not have paid? Iran had placed $400 million in a U.S. Foreign Military Sales trust fund in the 1970s for military equipment that was never delivered due to the Iranian Revolution.
The $1.7 billion payment consisted of the $400 million principal plus $1.3 billion in interest owed on the fund.
This was a settlement of a legal arbitration case between the U.S. and Iran over the interest owed.

This was not funding given to Iran. The amount quoted refers to foreign assets that belonged to Iran and were frozen by sanctions imposed to impede its nuclear program. The JCPOA was also an international agreement between Iran and a number of major world powers, including the U.S.

Granted, donny wouldn't have listened to the arbitration and paid it.....


Yes prior to the Islamic revolution. Please don't try to parade fact with lipstick on and assume it's an apple to apples comparison. Thats honestly absurd.

Dems definitely love giving countries who are the largest sponsors of terror 1.5 billion dollars and the ability to build a nuclear program. derp derp.


How can this possibly bother you when the majority of US supports Netanyahu's terrorism? Is it only terrorism if you're on the receiving side of things or smth?

No no please do not confuse this with support for Israel, fuck em. But it absolutely bothers me that we made deals with a country who has and continues to say death to america and kill servicemen and women.

Definitely not apples to apples. The US Foreign Military Salses program was established through the 1976 Arms Export Control Act (AECA) and is overseen by the United States Department of State and the United States Congress through the annual Foreign Operations Appropriations Acts and National Defense Authorization Acts.
Go I guess we can blame Gerald Ford (R) for starting it all.

lol yeah that's all it is.

It's definitely not Iran's decades of financial support to Hamas, Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, the Taliban, etc. that makes them the bad guys. It's not kidnapping American citizens, or putting bounties on American officials. It's just that Putin thinks they're cool. We're probably jealous.

The situation with Iran has been going on since before 9/11 this is true. Those debts they owed in the 1970s are a moot point in 2025. The problem is, just as some stated here already, they are many terrorist cells funded by very rich people within the UAE and abroad as well. Not all Iranians are involved in any extreme "terrorist" groups. That is why they used drones in Tehran instead of dropping a MOAB on Tehran, which would have completely devastated the population and the city and would have been unethical. Using drones may be controversial to some, but at the end of the day, more lives were spared. We had to destroy their nuclear capabilities because they would not complay with UN or the international nuclear regulatory commission, or any other governing authority. They simply are proceeding without permission, which is not to be tolerated.
