The U.S. government has traced some of the $1.7 billion released to Iran by the Obama administration to Iranian-backed terrorists in the two years since the cash was transferred.
According to knowledgeable sources, Iran has used the funds to pay its main proxy, the Lebanon-based terrorist group Hezbollah, along with the Quds Force, Iran’s main foreign intelligence and covert action arm and element of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.

“The enormous financial windfall the Iranian regime received because of the deal — access to more than $100 billion, including $1.8 billion in cash — has not been used to better the lives of the Iranian people,” Mr. Trump said Jan. 12. “Instead, it has served as a slush fund for weapons, terror, and oppression, and to further line the pockets of corrupt regime leaders.”
So A country that has backed rebels against another country used some of their own money that was released to them to do this.
Meanwhile Republicans try and make it sound like Obama pulled billions out of our own economy, and gave it to people who are terrorists.
You can word this in multiple ways. The one closest to the truth?
Iran used their own money to do stuff that may be funding terrorists. The release of their money was in order to avoid them having nuclear weapons...like in North Korea.
It was their money. Iran doesn't get a say in how the U.S. spends its money, do they?
