Original Note:
Misleading. The post implies Obama illegally sidestepped Congress. The $1.7 billion payment was a lawful settlement via The Hague, returning Iranian funds frozen since 1979, plus interest. Congressional approval was not required. TL;DR: Obama returned Iran's own money. https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/the-obama-administrations-1-7-billion-iranian-deception https://apnews.com/united-states-government-fd4113419276444eba1d2a46d5c29752?utm_source=chatgpt.com
