Washington Free Beacon: Iran: U.S. Surrendered More Than $10 Billion in Gold, Cash, Assets
Obama admin lowballs cost of dealing with Iran
The Obama administration has paid Iran more than $10 billion in gold, cash, and other assets since 2013, according to Iranian officials, who disclosed that the White House has been intentionally deflating the total amount paid to the Islamic Republic.
Senior Iranian officials late last week confirmed reports that the total amount of money paid to Iran over the past four years is in excess of $10 billion, a figure that runs counter to official estimates provided by the White House.

Update: A Tally of Iran Sanctions Relief Includes More Than $10 Billion in Cash, Gold (Wall Street Journal).
WNU Editor: With each passing week/month .... more details of the Iran nuclear deal become known.
On a side note .... this is an interesting point from the above WSJ post ....
.... U.S. officials estimate that roughly half of the $100 billion Iran is entitled to receive under the final deal already is committed to debts Iran has had to pay to other countries, including China.
But aside from what Iran owes to other countries (and to work it so that they will be able to pay them) .... this deal was also done to get Iran to the table to make a deal on its nuclear program. But one has to wonder where this deal will eventually really end up .... especially when I read stories like this one .... Diplomats: Iran to get natural uranium batch (AP). Hmmmm .... the only thing that Western supporters of the deal can say right now is that we must take a "leap of faith" .... and that things will work out. OK .... but here is a prediction .... if this whole thing goes "south", these same people (President Obama included) will be blaming everyone else for this mess and not themselves for getting us into it in the first place.

Obama lying?
Say it ain't so!
Ppl that hate Israel and the United States, love Iran and the idea of the us paying out of the ass to them....
Remember: Iran has openly promised to annihlate israel (iran being the only country to officially make known to the world of its desire to wipe out another sovereign country).
So it's basic logic and follows that Iran will take all the free cash and fund terrorism/nuclear armament/and the killing of as many infidels as it can.
