Obama-era license aimed to let Iran convert money in dollars |
2018-06-06 |
![]() [AyPee] The Obama administration secretly sought to give Iran access ‐ albeit briefly ‐ to the U.S. financial system by sidestepping sanctions kept in place after the 2015 nuclear deal, despite repeatedly telling Congress and the public it had no plans to do so. I think this man would have given his daughters to the mullahs if that's what it would have taken to seal the deal. Or maybe he was just pretending to go after Iran when he really wanted to create cover for them while they go about their work. An investigation by Senate Republicans released Wednesday sheds light on the delicate balance the Obama administration sought to strike after the deal, as it worked to ensure Iran received its promised benefits without playing into the hands of the deal’s opponents. Amid a tense political climate, Iran hawks in the U.S., Israel and elsewhere argued that the United States was giving far too much to Tehran and that the windfall would be used to fund extremism and other troubling Iranian activity. Now we know who turned out to be right. |
