Biden's secret Iran deal

[friend of]

The money ($6 billion, not $20B) involved is not American. It is Iranian, being held in foreign banks. And it can be "spent only on humanitarian-related materials

Do you have a link to the "spent only on humanitarianism" claim? Or are you just saying this. Who controls what that money is spent on and how is this notion enforced?

Aha, now we're talking about Biden's deal to release Americans held in Iranian prisons

From my sources, Biden is allowing 6 billion dollars to be circulated in Iran's "economy" in exchange for 5 or 6 hostages. The Biden administration not only negotiates, but capitulated to terrorists. This move will embolden Iran to take more hostages, guaranteed. How do you defend this?

What's wrong @essentialsaltes ? Can't address my charges? Is there a flaw somewhere in my logic? I think you've got a bit of explaining to do.

I get it. You don't like the deal to release American prisoners. But at least you're now talking about the actual deal, rather than the imaginary nuclear one in the OP.

You claimed that money would be spent on humanitarian efforts. Do you have a source for that claim? What mechanism or oversight is in place to ensure such funds are spent on humanitarian aid efforts and not, say, the nuclear weapons program Iran is throwing all of its weight into currently? Or used to export terrorism in west Asia and around the world?

It was in the source I linked to.

"Essentially, the funds can only be accessed for food, medicine, medical equipment that would not have a dual military use," he said. "And there will be a rigorous process of due diligence and standards applied with input from the U.S. Treasury Department."

Newsmax mess on aisle 6. Clean up please!

Its a pattern that repeats over and over.

As per the article:

The potential transfer has drawn Republican criticism that President Joe Biden, a Democrat, is effectively paying a ransom for the U.S. citizens. Moreover, they contend that allowing Iran to use the money for humanitarian goods could free up funds for its nuclear program or to back militias in nations such as Iraq, Lebanon and Yemen.

Yeah, that's, uh, kind of a problem, I would think.

Yes, the grapes are sour, I know. But at least we all finally agree the deal enforces the requirement for "Iran to use the money for humanitarian goods "

Diplomacy is overrated?

This thread was moved from News & Current Events to American Politics because the OP does not have a link to a news articule. A video source is not enough. ​

 

[Truth7t7]

Why do conservatives believe that Newsmax is a legitimate news source?

I would say the same of CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, Washington Post, and a whole bunch more

More like Biden is backing the world terrorist in Iran

Thing is, Iran would be foolish to stop pursing nukes. Look at Libya and Ukraine. How did giving their nukes up work out for them? The US has a poor record with how we treat countries that give up nuclear arsenals and ambitions.

And the world would be foolish to allow Iran thats the terrorist capital of the world to have nukes, but it appears Biden is their supporter, treason to the free world in my opinion

Sure, but this thread is about Biden's attempts to clean up his predecessor's failure on that front, not the mental capacity of his predecessor.

Biden is assisting the world terrorist in Iran, a treasonous traitor to the free world IMHO, just as Obama did

Interesting opinion. I wonder if there's any evidence which might cause others to take it seriously.

This aid will only be used for food and medicine and other humanitarian aid, so Biden's doing quite a bit better than Ronald Reagan, who literally sold weapons to Iran (despite a weapons embargo). Reagan was a traitor to American law and the free world IMHO.

Sure, you going to be watching the money flow once it's in Iran's hands?

Didn't think so!

I fully agree Regan was a traitor to the free world also, selling arms to Iran behind congress backs,, however in 1986 Iran's nuclear capability wasn't where it is today, a completely different scenario 37 years ago with Regan
