It belonged to Iran. Not a particular person or government.So you believe in taking money and keeping it without deliverying the goods. Most of this money was in US banks when the Shah of Iran was deposed. The US supported the Shah and hence froze Iranian assets. The Reagan government was perfectly willing to deal with the Iranians when they went to war with Saddam Hussein.
Not to mention that the 9/11 terrorists who did attack and murder Americans didn't come from Iran, they came from Saudi Arabia. And the US has done absolutely NOTHING to upbraid the Saudi government for funding and supporting terrorism against the USA.
So please, stop pretending that it was an outrage that Obama returned the Iranian's own money to them, to buy the release of hostages because that's yet another lie conservatives tell the uneducated and the foolish who have no comprehension of the facts, the court cases, and the reality behind these conservative attempts to gin up hatred and outrage against Obama.
The money belonged to the Shaw and his government, not to the Islamic dictatorship that Obama supports. Obama gave the dictatorship these funds to help them develop nuclear weapons to use against America - an act of treason. Treason though, is a common theme with Barack Hussein Mugabe.
