Kerry admits that some of Iran’s ransom money will fund terrorism

CNN reports that Secretary of State John Kerry admitted to CNBC that he knows that some of the money that we returned to Iran will ultimately fund terrorism;

When asked about whether some the $150 billion in sanctions relief to Iran would go to terrorist groups, Kerry reiterated that, after settling debts, Iran would receive closer to $55 billion. He conceded some of that could go to groups considered terrorists, saying there was nothing the U.S. could do to prevent that.

“I think that some of it will end up in the hands of the IRGC or other entities, some of which are labeled terrorists,” he said in the interview in Davos, referring to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps. “You know, to some degree, I’m not going to sit here and tell you that every component of that can be prevented.”

But, we can rest assured, according to Kerry, that in the short term, the Iranian government will do only good stuff with their money, that the terrorist funds will be spent on that endeavor later – you know, after there’s a new administration in the White House. “Nothing the U.S. could do to prevent that” is a pansy statement. Of course there’s something that we can do to prevent the money being spent on terrorism. Things like wiping out Iranian-funded terrorists. Or, by putting the fear of God into the Iranians who certainly aren’t concerned about a US retaliation at this point.
