Someone on the radio last night who suggested that the money had been sat in a escrow account for 40 years, wait to be paid. I’m not sure I believe them.
As i understand it was held because of the uk only delivered 200mil worth of tanks out of a 600mil deal and then cancelled the order because of the shah being overthrown. So money of arms is a bit strange it would be merely an refund because we didn't want to deliver the arms because of a changed political situation.
i think the concern was that if the money was handed over it could be used to buy weapons from elsewhere. I think the breakthrough has been that Iran has promised not to buy weapons with it. Of course, they are wholly trustworthy and didn't at all have their fingers crossed.
Well before Trump we felt ok for some time to buy oils from them, i'm not very sure but confident that it might be more than 400mil so they could have saved this 2 poeple a Iranian jail by sorting out there sh!t earlier.

With so much overly competent politicians we don't need enemy's right?
That. Is. A. Disgrace.
I’m really not, thanks all the same.
Let's face it Nazanin is going to have had to be pretty resilient and strong of mind to stay sane over the last few years.
