The Obama administration on Wednesday paid $490 million in cash assets to Iran and will have released a total of $11.9 billion to the Islamic Republic by the time nuclear talks are scheduled to end in June, according to figures provided by the State Department.
Today’s $490 million release, the third such payment of this amount since Dec. 10, was agreed to by the Obama administration under the parameters of another extension in negotiations over Tehran’s contested nuclear program that was inked in November.
Iran will receive a total of $4.9 billion in unfrozen cash assets via 10 separate payments by the United States through June 22, when talks with Iran are scheduled to end with a final agreement aimed at curbing the country’s nuclear work, according to a State Department official.
Iran received $4.2 billion in similar payments under the 2013 interim agreement with the United States and was then given another $2.8 billion by the Obama administration last year in a bid to keep Iran committed to the talks through November, when negotiators parted ways without reaching an agreement.
Iran will have received a total of $11.9 billion in cash assets by the end of June if current releases continue on pace as scheduled.

Great pic!
Well, on the one hand, we’re paying them with their money.
On the other hand, maybe O is a Muslim. Maybe?
But he’s confused—which master to bow to? Shiite? Or Saudi/Sunni? They’re fighting.
Who the bleep taught these nimrods how to negotiate?
Nah, Obola’s not a Muslim really /s
even if paying off Iran actually worked — how does State dept reconcile not paying ransoms for kidnapped victims yet paying billions to buy off Iran?
Huh?
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
The only righteous thing to do would be to line the Iranian leadership up and put a bullet in their heads. After that tell the next batch of despots that they must dismantle their Muslim Pathology and bend the knee to the God of Israel. By doing so they can save themselves and their nation from total annihilation at the coming of Moshiach.
How much does it work out to per dead American, I wonder?
This admin doesn’t need to reconcile anything- he owns the press and they’ll never ask him any tough questions because they love him, and neither will the pubbies, because they are too afraid.
