WASHINGTON—The Obama administration agreed to back the lifting of United Nations sanctions on two Iranian state banks blacklisted for financing Iran’s ballistic-missile program on the same day in January that Tehran released four American citizens from prison, according to U.S. officials and congressional staff briefed on the deliberations.
The U.N. sanctions on the two banks weren’t initially to be lifted until 2023, under a landmark nuclear agreement between Iran and world powers that went into effect on Jan. 16.
The U.N. Security Council’s delisting of the two banks, Bank Sepah and Bank Sepah International, was part of a package of tightly scripted agreements—the others were a controversial prisoner swap and transfer of $1.7 billion in cash to Iran—that were finalized between the U.S. and Iran on Jan. 17, the day the Americans were freed.
The new details of the delisting have emerged after administration officials briefed lawmakers earlier this month on the U.S. decision.
According to senior U.S. officials, a senior State Department official, Brett McGurk, and a representative of the Iranian government signed three documents in Geneva on the morning of Jan. 17.

doesn’t matter.
Trump called some b.tch a pig.
Brutal commercial and he need to respond with a “deplorables” commercial asap.
women (not FReepers) are fickle and emotional, and if their pudgy daughter asks who they are voting for, i wonder what they’ll say..
Some pretty horrible people have ascended to influence the direction of this nation. It’s time to kick their asses out of those positions of which they have ascended.
I hope when the kicking happens our tools are well cleaned, and oiled appropriately. B.L.O.A.T.
The capture was a setup. It was planned as an excuse to give them the money. There never was a ransom.
Obama/Hillary own Iran and what comes next.
Now, that is a disgusting thought.
Then, again.... Not much different than the charade that Director Comey was really conducting an investigation..... /sarc
**spit****spit***
We need a commission to brutally go after these parasites and jail them all
Obama is just making sure the Iranian regime has all the funding they need to create nukes capable of destroying Israel and the U.S.
So if banking sanctions were lifted why send a plane loaded with pallets stacked with unmarked bills???
I’m absolutely certain now.
So much is being done behind our backs undermining Americans at every turn. I’m not surprised though.
The first time it is called "happenstance"
The second time it is called "coincidence"
The third time it is called " ENEMY ACTION" !!
This administration must consider us ignorant and stupid
I may be obtuse, but I know when it is SABOTAGE ,.. and TYRANNY !
