"strong sanctions" seem to be mentioned not the 150 b in various currencies

" After talking with officials at Iran’s Central Bank, Nader Habibi, professor of economics of the Middle East at Brandeis University, believes the actual total is between $25 billion and $50 billion.

 In July 2015, U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew told lawmakers Iran would gain access to $56 billion.

It’s important to know that little of that money was under the control of the United States or any U.S. bank. Most of it, Habibi said, was in central and commercial banks overseas. Furthermore, it was Iran’s money to begin with, not a payment from any government to buy Iran’s cooperation. 

mc, I quote from and provide a source. Your source ... a Donald Trump interview on Fox.

https://www.mediamatters.org/research/2016/08/04/myths-facts-400-million-payment-iran/212190    I do not know carl, I was not there. Had I been I would of put A stop to it. This article says 400 million plus 1.3b in interest....that sounds pretty damn close to 1.5 billion doesn't it? Figured the President should know more than me. At any rate Iran understands only 1 thing, strong sanctions and never give them an inch

The 400 million was probably interest on the 1.3 billion paid by Iran for arm never delivered because of the revolution.
