Iran's requested payout

[KT2000]

GOP has lied about the supposed payout Obama made to Iran.

This is a fact sheet that sets the record straight.

1. Misconception: The Iran Deal included a U.S. payment of $150 billion to Iran
The Facts:
The money that Iran receives from complying with the agreement is not a direct payment from the U.S.
government. Instead, the funds are Iranian foreign assets, which the international sanctions regime prevented
Iran from accessing. Under the JCPOA, these nuclear-related sanctions were waived after Iran verifiably
completed its initial obligations.
The $150 billion figure is also inaccurate. The amount of money Iran could access from these foreign reserves
is about $100 billion. Of this amount, about half of it is tied up in Iranian foreign debts. As Treasury Secretary,
Jacob Lew, testified before Congress, the actual amount that Iran would be able to use is about $50 billion.

Should a desperate Donald Trump sign off on the latest deal with Iran that led him to call off a major attack late Thursday, he would suffer a “major humiliation” based on leaked details.

That is according to Insider editor Michael Weiss, who appeared on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe” on Friday morning and claimed that the president has come to the realization that he was duped into the whole endeavor.

Pointing out that the president has announced an imminent deal is at hand countless times, co-host Joe Scarborough asked, “Why do we keep hearing the same thing over and over and over again when the Iranians have rejected this deal time and again, and hardliners in America have rejected this deal?”

Weiss replied, “I mean, I just want to read you — Iran's Mehr News Agency put out their version of this deal. Now, again, underscore we ... don't know if this is going to be the memorandum of understanding. But in their version of the deal they get $300 billion in reconstruction money, $24 billion in a cash infusion, half of which will come before the negotiations begin.”

“Remember, this isn't a deal, this is an agreement to keep talking and an extension of a cease-fire. There's nothing new in here,” he elaborated. “Again, the Iranian version that talks about the missile program or financing or arming terrorist proxies like Lebanese Hezbollah.”
