Original Note:
The claim that the U.S. gave Iran billions is false. These were Iranian oil revenues in escrow accounts in China, India, Japan, Turkey, frozen due to UN sanctions, not U.S. funds. Released under JCPOA for humanitarian use only, under strict monitoring. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2019/aug/27/donald-trump/donald-trump-miscasts-money-and-terms-iran-nuclear/
