Surely he would never do something like that . . . would he?
The Iranian state-controlled West Asia News Agency (WANA) picked up on the story, and it’s easy to see why. WANA reported Tuesday that “several foreign and Israeli media outlets have claimed that $3 billion worth of Iranian assets was transferred from Abu Dhabi to Tehran on a recent flight, reportedly as part of diplomatic efforts aimed at preventing further escalation in the region.”
This was not a transaction that solely involved the United Arab Emirates and the Islamic Republic of Iran. WANA continued: “According to a report by Israel’s Kan broadcaster, the assets were transferred to Tehran on a flight from Abu Dhabi. The report alleges that, in return, Iran was asked to halt its attacks against Israel. Kan further claimed that the message accompanying the transfer, reportedly delivered on behalf of the United States, included assurances that Israel would suspend its military operations in Lebanon.”
Nor was even that all: “The report also stated that the exchange of messages was facilitated by a Qatari delegation and that the aircraft carrying the assets successfully landed in Tehran. Meanwhile, the Western media outlet IntelWatch made a similar claim, alleging that the aircraft that flew from Abu Dhabi to Tehran the previous day was carrying $3 billion. According to the report, the transfer was intended to build trust with Iran and help prevent the outbreak of a wider regional conflict.”
Oh, surely not, right? This must be propaganda from Iran’s Islamic regime, right? They’re just trying to make Donald Trump look as if he has morphed into Barack Obama, bribing the Iranian leaders to be good so as to burnish his legacy and give the appearance of peace while actually kicking the problem of the Islamic Republic of Iran down the road for some future president to deal with — right?
Well, maybe. And yet… given Trump’s recent behavior, the report, which appears indeed to have originated with Israel’s Kan, is really not as farfetched as we all wish it were. Would Trump have done this, despite his previous disdain for Obama’s nuclear deal, and the billions that Obama sent to Tehran in addition to concluding that disastrous agreement?
Sure he would. Trump is now avid to make a deal with the Islamic Republic that will bring down gas prices and allow him to claim victory (as well as, finally, get that Nobel Peace Prize he so desperately covets). He is drawing red line after red line for the leaders of the Islamic Republic and then allowing them to cross those red lines with impunity. He has ordered Israel not to retaliate to Iranian strikes, and shrugged off Iranian violations of his ridiculous ceasefire as unimportant, signaling for Tehran and all the world that he lacks the will to fight and will give anything, anything to the leaders of Iran’s Islamic regime if they’ll just let him play peacemaker. So why not three billion dollars? --->READ MORE HERE
