The terrorist nation of Iran is about to cash in on five American hostages and Joe Biden is about to pay the bill. And it’s a big one.
But here’s the catch. Iran still gets to keep the prisoners in Iran.
Here’s the report from Middle East reporter Jonathan Haroun:
“#BREAKING: The White House confirms that #Iran has released from prison five Americans and has placed them on house arrest. In exchange, Tehran will gain access to ~$6 billion in oil revenue for “humanitarian purposes” (what some onlookers describe as prime ‘hostage diplomacy’).”

Obama sent Iran billions in pallets of cash for the Iran deal and now Biden is paying $6 billion for five American hostages to be moved from prison into house arrest. Iran must really love our Democrat presidents because who else but Democrats would be swindled into a deal like this, as well as believing Iran’s humanitarian nonsense.
You know what I think this is really about? It’s got to be part of Biden’s new version of the Iran deal. He’s got to have something to show the American people during his campaign for president and he’s hoping to put it over the top with another Iran deal and five hostages coming home, assuming it gets that far.
Here’s a few responses to the news:
We gave state sponsor of terrorism Iran large sums of cash to move hostages from one cell to another. https://t.co/k3UA32NAgc

The Islamic Republic receiving funds for “humanitarian purposes” is like Hunter Biden doing coke for medical purposes https://t.co/XusoFrTFnC
