A shocking report from the Wall Street Journal exposes a secret payment that Obama sent to terrorist-supporting Iran that appears to be a hostage payment for kidnapped Americans.

From the Wall Street Journal’s exposé:

The Obama administration secretly organized an airlift of $400 million worth of cash to Iran that coincided with the January release of four Americans detained in Tehran, according to U.S. and European officials and congressional staff briefed on the operation afterward.

Wooden pallets stacked with euros, Swiss francs and other currencies were flown into Iran on an unmarked cargo plane, according to these officials. The U.S. procured the money from the central banks of the Netherlands and Switzerland, they said.

The money represented the first installment of a $1.7 billion settlement the Obama administration reached with Iran to resolve a decades-old dispute over a failed arms deal signed just before the 1979 fall of Iran’s last monarch, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.

Of course, Obama is denying that it was a hostage payment:

Senior U.S. officials denied any link between the payment and the prisoner exchange. They say the way the various strands came together simultaneously was coincidental, not the result of any quid pro quo.

“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,” State Department spokesman John Kirby said. “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.”

This is truly an outrage and goes against U.S. law about paying ransoms for hostages because it just encourages more hostage-taking. And not surprisingly, Iran has taken other hostages since then.

Here’s an American that is behind bars that was just taken hostage a week ago:

And it’s clear that Obama did all of this just for the sake of his political “legacy,” even while lying to the American public, and to Congress.

All part of his Islamic ideology.
