Americans are the stupidest species people on the planet. Are you trying to quality for one of the highest positions??But, but, but Cuba is a socialist country - isn't that good? According to some people it is. Don't know why they don't go there instead of running down this despicable capitalistic society we currently have. Why, the socialist agenda is already in place so why not go where it's already been established instead of trying to change what we have here?? Hummmmmm?????

When the shah of Iran fell in 1979, the U.S. froze at least $400 million of Iranian money sitting in a Pentagon trust fund. The Islamic Republic of Iran never stopped trying to get it back.
Tehran unsuccessfully sought the money from Jimmy Carter in return for 52 American diplomats held hostage for 444 days. It asked the Reagan administration for the same money during dealings that led to the Iran-Contra scandal. The issue came up yet again during negotiations with George H.W. Bush’s White House.
No administration agreed to surrender all the money, until Jan. 17, shortly after four American citizens were released from Iranian jails in a prisoner exchange. That is when an Iranian government Boeing 737 lifted off from Geneva’s Cointrin airport carrying $400 million—stacks of Swiss francs delivered on wooden pallets earlier that day by the U.S. government.
Over the past 18 months, Iran has detained at least three more American citizens for allegedly threatening the country’s national security. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani wants the U.S. to return another chunk of Iranian money, $2 billion frozen in 2009 in a Citibank account in New York. He has suggested that a deal similar to the one involving the $400 million could resolve the issue.
The Obama administration has said the $400 million payment, and another $1.3 billion paid in interest, wasn’t ransom but was part of a deal to resolve the long-running dispute over frozen assets once controlled by Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. The cash transfer, besides resolving the financial standoff, helped seal a nuclear agreement the U.S. and its allies negotiated with Iran’s leaders. White House officials also have said they hoped the deal might lead Iran to moderate its behavior.
In January 1981, Iran released the hostages after 444 days, but only after the Carter administration began transferring $12 billion of Iranian money back to Iran’s new rulers. Current and former U.S. officials involved in Iran diplomacy say that marked the first such financial trade-off. Some lawmakers argued it bordered on extortion or ransom.
The transfers didn’t include the money deposited in the Pentagon trust fund, a sensitive issue given Tehran’s revolutionary government, say the U.S. officials.
During the presidency of George H.W. Bush, U.S. lawyers at The Hague worked to settle all outstanding claims, an effort to improve ties with Iran under its business-minded President Hashemi Rafsanjani. In 1990, $200 million was returned to Iran from the Pentagon trust fund. Another settlement for a failed arms deal was reached in 1991.
