BBC: US releases $6bn in frozen Iran funds for prisoner swap
The US has issued a sanctions waiver for banks to transfer $6bn (£4.8bn) of frozen Iranian funds from South Korea to Qatar, paving the way for the release of five Americans held by Iran. Secretary of State Antony Blinken told Congress that the money would provide "limited benefit" to Iran as it could only be used for humanitarian trade.
He also confirmed that five Iranians detained in the US would be freed as part of the prisoner exchange deal. Republicans condemned the transfer. One senator accused President Joe Biden of paying a "ransom to the world's worst state sponsor of terrorism".

ReplyDeleteObama gave 400 million for 4 hostages in 2016. SNOPES swears up and down that it is all mere coincidence.
ReplyDeleteJoe Biden is better than Obama. Obama gave less than a tenth of the ransom that Joe gave.
REVEALED: Joe Biden Used a Fourth Alias to Communicate While He Was Vice President
ReplyDeleteDid Joe Biden secretly communicate with the ayatollahs using a 5th alias?
Does Joe Biden have more aliases than Prigozhin?
do you have any evidence for any of the stuff you are saying? none of that shit stands up in court without solid evidenced and if none at this point then you are a tabloid retard.
ReplyDeleteWhat is your definition of sublime?
DeleteI told you yesterday. When you have a pile of lime, anything under it is 'sub".
DeleteSo if the pile of lime is on the ground,
The ground is sub lime.
You can thank me later 😀😀😀
^ No one is disputing the facts that President Pretend had 4 aliases. Fact.
ReplyDeleteIt is such a fact that the partisan Democrat hacks at the archive are refusing to turn over the emails.
Now President Pretend is going to be impeached.
The 5th alias was a question. it would not surprise me, if that surmise proved to be true.
Facts are tough mothers.
Aaaaanyway, to get back to the subject at hand...that's a lot of millions (1200+) for a couple of dumbfucks who couldn't read or didn't care that his hiking route took him into Iran...
ReplyDeleteOh nevermind they were released for less than 1/2 million in 2011 (the female went free earlier, for free)

ReplyDelete"At the time of their detention by Iranian troops, the three Americans were on vacation[citation needed] from their jobs in the region in a relatively stable, autonomous region of Iraq known as Iraqi Kurdistan. On the recommendations of locals, they hiked to see a popular local Iraqi tourist destination near the Iraq-Iran border, the Ahmed Awa waterfall"
Maybe it was innocent.

Armenia has a border with Iran
ReplyDeleteAmerican forces conducted a military exercise with the Armenian Army on the territory of Armenia.
I do not like this, but what is Armenia going to do? Russia is kaput.
A $6 billion Biden manna to Iran buys a lot of proxy wars in Yemen, strikes on Saudi oil fields, terror funding against Israel, martyrs across the US southern border and all the Shaheed drones Russia wants. And a done deal on 9/11/23.
ReplyDelete/It's almost as if the Biden *residency is compromised or something.

I was overseas for GWOT. George Bush is a lot of things. One thing I figured he would not do is leave us hanging.
ReplyDeleteI expected that if it was up to a Democrat that It would turn out like Kabul in 2021 or worse. Joe did not disappoint now did he?
