Iran seeking 'many billions of dollars' in ransom to free US hostages

US signed secret deal to lift sanctions on Iran banks

Iran is seeking “many billions of dollars” in payments from the United States in exchange for the release of several U.S. hostages still being detained in Iran, according to reports by Iran’s state-controlled press that are reigniting debate over the Obama administration’s decision earlier this year to pay Iran $1.7 billion in cash.

Senior Iranian officials, including the country’s president, have been floating the possibility of further payments from the United States for months. Since the White House agreed to pay Tehran $1.7 billion in cash earlier this year as part of a deal bound up in the release of American hostages, Iran has captured several more U.S. citizens.

Future payments to Iran could reach as much as $2 billion, according to sources familiar with the matter, who said that Iran is detaining U.S. citizens in Iran’s notorious Evin prison where inmates are routinely tortured and abused.

Iranian news sources close to the country’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, or IRGC, which has been handling prisoner swaps with the United States, reported on Tuesday that Iran expects “many billions of dollars to release” those U.S. citizens still being detained.”

“We should wait and see, the U.S. will offer … many billions of dollars to release” American businessman Siamak Namazi and his father Baquer, who was abducted by Iran after the United States paid Iran the $1.7 billion, according to the country’s Mashregh News outlet, which has close ties to the IRGC’s intelligence apparatus.

Thank you, Obamination who negotiates with terrorists, since you are one, yourself.

Obama has been as incompetent as Trump...would have been.

Very...

Obama has been as incompetent as Trump...would have been.

So you can see all timelines, even ones that never happened, like you are God?

You see nothing. Trump's competence is proven in his history. Trump built a global billion dollar real estate empire when Obama was agitating in the streets.

Your analysis is ignorant, lame, and has no basis in fact.

Dig a little deeper, buddy. Trump has not earned or saved up his money by very honest or fair means. Just a quick example: the Trump Foundation accepted donations from other nonprofit/humanitarian organizations frequently. At the same time, Trump himself did not donate any money to the foundation and actually removed donations from it in order to use to pay business expenses

Extortion and ransom: Part and parcel of the Iran deal?

Extortion and ransom: Part and parcel of the Iran deal?
By Ethel C. Fenig

As President Barack Hussein Obama (D) continues to insist that one of his foreign policy crown jewels, the Iran deal, has made the world so much safer for democracy and that soon Iran and the U.S. will be best of friends, Iran has announced this not so friendly demand.

Iran is seeking "many billions of dollars" in payments from the United States in exchange for the release of several U.S. hostages still being detained in Iran, according to reports by Iran's state-controlled press that are reigniting debate over the Obama administration's decision earlier this year to pay Iran $1.7 billion in cash.

Senior Iranian officials, including the country's president, have been floating the possibility of further payments from the United States for months. Since the White House agreed to pay Tehran $1.7 billion in cash earlier this year as part of a deal bound up in the release of American hostages, Iran has captured several more U.S. citizens.

Extortion and ransom are, needless to say, not indications of mutual friendship, but rather one party taking advantage of a lowly individual who so desperately wants or needs the other's friendship to prove himself.

And Obama needs to prove himself. American withdrawal from Iraq was another Obama early foreign policy jewel that soon turned to broken glass as chaos, an Iranian takeover of the western part of the country, and terrorist ISIS replaced the Americans forcing an American return.

The Iran deal jewel has joined Obama's other worthless broken shiny objects. Much more to come.

wow it just gets better and better with Bammy.
