The Obama administration secretly shipped $400 million in cash to Iran
around the time that the country released four American prisoners, the Wall
Street Journal reported on Tuesday.
The money - which consisted mainly of Euros, Swiss francs and other foreign
currencies - was airlifted to Iran in an unmarked cargo plane in January.
The payment was part of a settlement over an arms deal from 1979, shortly
before Iran went through a regime change.
U.S. officials have denied that the payment was a ransom for the release of
the prisoners.
"As we've made clear, the negotiations over the settlement of an outstanding
claim ... were completely separate from the discussions about returning our
American citizens home," said John Kirby, a State Department spokesman.
"Not only were the two negotiations separate, they were conducted by
different teams on each side, including, in the case of The Hague claims, by
technical experts involved in these negotiations for many years."
Still, Republican lawmakers, all of whom opposed the Iran nuclear agreement
that was passed last year, have criticized President Obama for making
payments to Iran.
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) said the transaction amounted to "a $1.7 billion
ransom to the ayatollahs for U.S. hostages."
"This break with longstanding U.S. policy put a price on the head of
Americans, and has led Iran to continue its illegal seizures" of Americans,
he added. | G**Y
