- Abstract:
The article discusses the U.S. State Department's announcement regarding its delay of a payment to Iran in January 2016 in order to maintain leverage and ensure the release of three American prisoners. Topics include the U.S.' plans to reimburse $1.7 billion to Iran for military equipment it purchased prior to the Iranian revolution that was never delivered, concerns that the payment to Iran was a ransom for the Americans, and the implementation of U.S. President Obama's nuclear deal with Iran.
