The money represented the first installment of a $1.7 billion settlement the Obama administration reached with Iran to resolve a decades-old dispute over a failed arms deal signed just before the 1979 fall of Irans last monarch, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.
The settlement, which resolved claims before an international tribunal in The Hague, also coincided with the formal implementation that same weekend of the landmark nuclear agreement reached between Tehran, the U.S. and other global powers the summer before.
With the nuclear deal done, prisoners released, the time was right to resolve this dispute as well, President Barack Obama said at the White House on Jan. 17without disclosing the $400 million cash payment.

Dollars to donuts the language seen here is being used to cadge huge donations earmarked for M/M O's post-presidency get-rich-quick plans.
The dangers to US ntl security were apparent when the Clintons used foreign policy initiatives for foundation fund-raising.
Taxpayers demand to see donation solicitation letters sent out by the various Obama fund-raising entities....his 2 foundations and library fund.
Valerie's the one that rites this pap......taxpayers demand to see wire-transfers in and out of Valerie's office.
And if Obama receives donations from Iran, Taxpayers demand his foundations and library fund be closed down.

White House Caught Secretly Airlifting $1.7 Billion US Taxpayer Cash To Tehran
John Kerry and the Obama Administration airlifted $1.7bn of cash in 'compromise' payments (read - bribe) to Tehran to ensure the release of 4 captured sailors coincidentally the same weekend as the signing of the nuclear deal.
Wooden pallets stacked with euros, Swiss francs and other currencies were flown into Iran on an unmarked cargo plane, according to these officials. The U.S. procured the money from the central banks of the Netherlands and Switzerland, they said.
