Sen. Coons on Giving Cash to Iran: ‘It Was Money that Was Iranian’

‘To be clear, the access to money that they got was not U.S. money given to Iran’

RUSH EXCERPT:
COONS: "And to be clear, the access to money that they got was not U.S. money given to Iran. It was money that was Iranian and frozen in accounts around the world during the period when tough sanctions were imposed on them. Also, to be clear, wolf, I've joined many other senators, both Republican and Democrat in cosponsoring a Biehl that imposes tough new sanctions on Iran, rekrntdly signed into law by trump for exactly the reasons you raise, terrible human rights record. I think it's appropriate for us to continue to call them to account and to impose tougher sanctions on those nonnuclear areas of Iran misbehavior.
