#1 ... out of 18 billion toman credit ($20,400,000) allocated by the government to the reconstruction of the city only 500 million tomans ($568,000) has been handed over ...

Gee, some $20,000,000 gone missing. Sounds exactly like the sort of money needed to make those expensive things called "nuclear bombs." As usual, Iran's mullahs continue to feast upon their people's flesh.

Any takers on when the rest of all this reconstruction money is going to show up?

#3 Yes, the mullahs are desperate for more trade and economic opportunity for their suffering people. Right.

I'd guess that less than 20% of the $20 mil went to the nuke program. The rest paid for another holy mercedes S-class fleet or two plus some beachfront villas plus substantial additions to certain Geneva numbered accounts.
