President Obama gave Iran $170 Billion dollars (that we know of) and the regime spent it on fostering terrorism as well as purchasing ordnance. As well as we can tell, none of it went for infrastructure development and repair. Now it is biting them in the ass. From Reuters:
Flood-hit Iran getting no financial aid from abroad due to U.S. sanctions: statement
U.S. sanctions have prevented the Iranian Red Crescent from obtaining any foreign financial aid to assist victims of flooding that has killed at least 70 people and inundated some 1,900 communities, the group said on Sunday.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said last week that Washington was ready to help via the Red Cross and Red Crescent, but accused Iran’s clerical establishment of “mismanagement in urban planning and in emergency preparedness”.
“No foreign cash help has been given to the Iranian Red Crescent society. With attention to the inhuman American sanctions, there is no way to send this cash assistance,” the Red Crescent said in a statement.
And a bit more:
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said last week that U.S. sanctions - reimposed after Washington quit a 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and six world powers - were impeding aid efforts to flood-stricken towns and villages.
“Blocked equipment includes relief choppers: This isn’t just economic warfare; it’s economic TERRORISM,” he said on Twitter.
All Iran has to do is to stop sponsoring terrorism and exporting it to the rest of the world. Once they do that, Iran and its citizens will be welcomed back into the world. By claiming that the rest of the world was committing economic terrorism, the Foreign Minister was showing classical signs of projection.
