Less than two months after Iran received $400 million in foreign currency in January, the world’s top state sponsor of terror acquired another $1.3 billion in cash from the United States, based on statements of U.S. government officials.

A State Department official confirmed to THE WEEKLY STANDARD that the payment occurred before March 17, and President Obama, while addressing the initial $400 million payment, acknowledged on August 4 that payments to Iran must be made in cash because “we don’t have a banking relationships with Iran…We could not wire the money.”
