For the record: https://apnews.com/article/iran-nor...p-fact-check-727282bdead6489a8521059936375210 The payout of about $1.8 billion is a separate matter. That dates to the 1970s, when Iran paid the U.S. $400 million for military equipment that was never delivered because the government was overthrown and diplomatic relations ruptured. That left people, businesses and governments in each country indebted to partners in the other, and these complex claims took decades to sort out in tribunals and arbitration. For its part, Iran paid settlements of more than $2.5 billion to U.S. citizens and businesses. The day after the nuclear deal was implemented, the U.S. and Iran announced they had settled the claim over the 1970s military equipment order, with the U.S. agreeing to pay the $400 million principal along with about $1.3 billion in interest. The $400 million was paid in cash and flown to Tehran on a cargo plane, which gave rise to Trump’s dramatic accounts of money stuffed in barrels or boxes and delivered in the dead of night. The arrangement provided for the interest to be paid later, not crammed into containers.

The recent $1.7 billion cash payment to Iran—which is being described by many in Congress as a ransom payment to the Islamic Republic—will be used in part to fund Iran’s leading military organization, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which is responsible for orchestrating terror attacks that have killed Americans.

Actually the Obama administration was one of the biggest funders of proxy terrorism. Let's place the blame directly where it belongs.
Well then take the words of John Kerry himself... the cash being given to Iran is being used to fund terrorism. Straight from the horses mouth.
They should tell Iran and Saudi Arabia "hi". In reality it is Iran who has been waging the proxy war in Yemen and even launching attacks against Saudi Arabia via Yemen.
Again, it was their money. We were going to have to release it anyway you look at it, and pay even more interest. You’re buying into a know-nothing narrative. You’re also failing to report Bush senior released $200 million to Iran of the same exact money. Is Iran going to spend some of their money on terrorism, yes. No shit, it’s their money that’s what they do.
