While I don't doubt it to be true, I'd really love a better source than "trust me bro" on Twitter.

It's been a messy process, but that 300B number is something that's been floating around.

Whether or not it pans out remains to be seen.

It's really dishonest to describe the un-freezing of funds and sanctions relief as "giving" Iran money.

It's no wonder that the Obama and Trump deals would be similar, since it's the same countries, with the same leverage, and all the same goals.

We shouldn't adopt the language of people who believe diplomacy is worthless. Instead we should be pointing out that the bombs and missiles didn't seem to help much.

There's been inside rumors that the Pentagon, in traditional fashion, has been listing KIAs as MIA to reduce reported deaths.
