Last August, the Obama administration admitted that it had secretly arranged a plane delivery of $400 million in cash to Iran. The money was flown into Iran on wooden pallets stacked with Swiss francs, euros and other currencies.
What did Iran do with the money?
According to a Saudi Arabian newspaper report on April 25th, Hezbollah had received $600 million worth of Iranian aid. The Al-Youm newspaper reported that the aid was transferred almost completely in hard cash, and is being used for the terror group’s institutions and salaries paid to its terrorists and their families.
Hezbollah is a terrorist organization that is headed by Hassan Nasrallah, its Secretary general. It was conceived by Muslim clerics and funded by Iran primarily to harass the Israelis who had entered Lebanon to increase stability in the north. Its leaders were followers of Ayatollah Khomeini, and its forces were trained and organized by a contingent of 1,500 Revolutionary Guards that arrived from Iran with permission from the Syrian government, which was in occupation of Lebanon at the time.
Hezbollah receives money from several sources including monies received from Shiite businessmen abroad, charity taxes, profit from Shiite websites in Iraq; and money received from Shiite imams in Iraq and abroad.
Last summer, candidate Trump remarked, “We paid $400 million for the hostages. Such a bad precedent was set by Obama. We have two more hostages there right? What’s are we going to pay for them? What we’re doing is insane.”
So far President Trump has not commented on the fact that most of this money ended up in the hands of Hezbollah.

Obama belongs in prison for treason.
We already knew that Obama sent the cash a long time ago. What Iran did with the cash obviously is to support world terror organizations!
What IS wrong though is that the US government today does not make any noise about this disgusting act by a former disgusting president!
PERHAPS IT’S TIME TO CURB PRESISDENTIAL POWER!!!!! THEY SHOULD HAVE TO HAVE MAJORITY VOTE OF CONGRESS TO EFFECT MONEY TRANSFERS TO ROGUE AND TERRORISTS ENTITIES/NATIONS. THIS IS WHAT THE CROOKED SLY OBAMA DID!!!
The math does not add up. Where did they get the other 200 mil ? Maybe that is where they got the whole 600 mil ?
Obama needs to be recognized as the most evil president in US history. I wish any of his supporters left in the Senate or the House a pleasant and speedy retirement from public office. Trump’s toughest job is undoing the damage this traitor did to America.
“Hezbullah gets its funding from various sources such as Shites in Iraq” You make that statement about 3 times. The only reason that the Shiites control Iraq is because of the Bush invasion which toppled a Sunni leadership and installed a pro Iran Shiite government in Iraq. The Bush Republican invasion of Iraq was the biggest gift that Iran ever received. It removed their number one enemy and allowed them to free up resources to support Hizbullah and engage in regional instability. The Republicam gift to Iran was worth a whole lot more than 400 million dollars.
The above story makes little sense anyway as 600 million is 200 million more than 400 million and not a shard of evidence is presented to substantiate these claims.
What would you expect from a Moslem president? Why did you elect him in the first place?
Had this CRIMINAL-IN-CHIEF been impeached and jailed as soon as it was discovered that he lied about his birthplace and falsified his Social Security Number which he openly admitted to the judges, this entire Iran crooked deal would not have come to pass. But the corrupt authority and judges were afraid to arrest this black Muslim Illegal President lest they’d be deemed racist, so he stayed on to continue his recklessness and lawlessness and more damage to America.
crazykanoiy will come up with any crazy ideas and hair-splitting stupid arguments in order to protect reputation of his deity Obama (yamach shmo). The main point is not how much money Hezbollah received from Iran, The fact is that Iran is $150B reacher today thanks to Obama(yamach shmo). Crazykanoiy, you should know that this money will not be spend on good causes.
And no liberal hack judge out in Guam blocked it? Shocking!!
