The Obama administration has been secretly returning artifacts in the possession of the US back to Iran as part of a general "detente" with the terrorist regime. They also transferred $2 billion in taxpayer money to Tehran as part of a settlement dealing with Iran's claims. The information is contained in a letter from a State Department official obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
Absolutely no word on any US claims regarding the appropriation of US property, including our embassy nor damages paid to American hostages for being held more than a year as prisoners.
Obama administration officials engaged in secret talks with Iran between June 2014 through at least January 2015 over a series of legal claims leveled against the United States by the Islamic Republic, the State Department disclosed in its letter.
“These discussions led to the settlement of claims for architectural drawings, which are now in the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art, and for fossils, which are now in the possession of Iran’s Ministry of the Environment, and the parties also discussed the possibility of broader settlements,” the State Department wrote, in response to an inquiry launched in January by Rep. Mike Pompeo (R., Kan.).
The Obama administration is seeking further settlements with Tehran to transfer assets, according to the State Department.
The administration’s latest admission about the backroom dealings with Iran were offered in response to a broader inquiry launched by Pompeo, who is seeking further information about the Obama administration’s payment of $1.7 billion in taxpayer funds to Iran, which many viewed as a “ransom payment” for Iran’s release of several U.S. hostages in January.
