U.S. to Award Iran $11.9 Billion Through End of Nuke Talks
2015-01-24
[WashingtonFreeBeacon] Another $490 million released on Tuesday under deal

The B.O. regime on Wednesday paid $490 million in cash assets to Iran and will have released a total of $11.9 billion to the Islamic Theocratic Republic by the time nuclear talks are scheduled to end in June, according to figures provided by the State Department.

Today's $490 million release, the third such payment of this amount since Dec. 10, was agreed to by the B.O. regime under the parameters of another extension in negotiations over Tehran's contested nuclear program that was inked in November.

Iran will receive a total of $4.9 billion in unfrozen cash assets via 10 separate payments by the United States through June 22, when talks with Iran are scheduled to end with a final agreement aimed at curbing the country's nuclear work, according to a State Department official.

Iran received $4.2 billion in similar payments under the 2013 interim agreement with the United States and was then given another $2.8 billion by the B.O. regime last year in a bid to keep Iran committed to the talks through November, when negotiators parted ways without reaching an agreement.

Iran will have received a total of $11.9 billion in cash assets by the end of June if current releases continue on pace as scheduled.

#5  Evidently North Korea is now list as a 'HOLD' as opposed to a 'BUY' by the Champ regime.

#4  Perhaps I will rethink my opinion of the new Congress when they extend the sanctions (to include the refreezing of these assets) despite the veto threat from Bambi.
I suspect they will pound their tiny fists and make noise for the cameras and move along...

#3  This is not negotiation between the O administration and the MMs of Iran. This is more like giving stacks of money and begging Iran for a worthless agreement. The MMs cannot believe what a rube they ran into.

#1  So tell me again what the incentive is for Iran to agree to anything?

They get to both continue their research and have the US to pay for it!

Holy have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too Batman!
