It was their money, not ours. The pallets contained less than one Billion dollars. The figure was $400 Million in cash that we know of.
Iit was a sneaking It was a sneaky wrong thing to do, imo. And that money wasn't going to benefit the people, only the Mullahs and those in high places to kill more Americans.
Look, they paid for military hardware which we didn't deliver. What do you think about a business that takes money for a product and then doesn't deliver? Shouldn't they give it back? Are you saying no?
why wasn't it delivered? If Hitler had paid for equipment while he was rounding up Jews, hell no I wouldn't have shipped him product he had paid for.
Regime change. Still we owed them either the equipment or a refund. I think a refund was appropriate. We held out for quite a while stretching our ethics. Seemed like a reasonable thing to exchange what we owed them for an agreement on the nuclear issue.
