(1,202 posts)I don't think we should just keep the frozen Iranian money and spend it on ourselves. They've been bombed pretty badly and could probably use it back.
I believe theyre reparations.
Funding coming from? Sounded like unfrozen Iranian money to me, not tax money.

(24,589 posts)It's not US tax dollars going to Iran. Let's be accurate about this.
It's a complete disaster, the US is giving Iran everything they want. There will be no IAEA inspectors so the nuclear part of the deal has no teeth and is basically nothing. The US is getting nothing out of this deal, zero. The entire war was for nothing.
And taxpayers are out plenty. This war cost us $70B and that's not including rebuilding all of the facilities Iran damaged of our throughout the region, price tag will easily eclipse $100B. And the economic cost globally will approach $1 Trillion.
And I don't even know if the cease fire holds because Trump basically negotiated for Israel without Israel's sign off on any part of the deal.

(22,984 posts)The money is Iran's. The funds have been frozen for years.
Also I believe it is not guaranteed but a conditional possibility of the freeze being lifted.
It has been the position of MAGA this this entire war has been self defense.
In what world does the victim pay the abuser?
This is crazy and its shocking the MSM is not asking this question.

(321,511 posts)many of us on DU. The MSM is owned by billionaires who support the PEDO and all their tax cuts.
I know what you mean, though. It should be shocking but it's SOP.

Well see what happens on Friday when the supposed deal is going to be signed. Will it be signed? Will we actually get to see the terms? Who knows.
