@JacobALinker@EWErickson So they're basically getting those frozen funds back in small increments - all while being able to sell their oil?
For someone who claimed "we won" like 3 months ago, claims to hold all the cards and repeatedly claimed any such fees were unacceptable... that's rather awkward.
A young woman from Germany vanished without a trace 11 years ago. Now, her name makes several appearances in the Epstein files. Her family wants to finally learn what happened to her. https://t.co/cwnleksESl
@RussWetherill Existing bases have long been established on allied territory with zero supply issues and extensive air defenses. Good luck trying to bring in all those assets under fire just 20 miles off the Iranian mainland. The boots were always the issue, casualties would skyrocket.
@_SofaVC@EWErickson The release of frozen funds has long been one of Iran's key demands. We've known for weeks that Trump was going to start releasing funds via proxies.
@EagleMD3@gbrew24 Of course. The outrageous part is Trump doing this after he and MAGA have spent years kicking and screaming about Obama unfreezing a fraction of that.
@geoffb123@AdamKinzinger No, because Trump released those $10B. He just did so via the UAE to try and avoid the embarrassment.
The plans for this were reported on around two weeks ago.
@dryfly_whodat@Osinttechnical Most people will. But you know Trump will claim he "knows nothing about it" and MAGA will then argue it was the UAE's doing.
@Osinttechnical Just a reminder it was reported around two weeks ago that Trump was seeking to release funds via third parties to avoid embarrassment. And here we are.
