Vitleysingur 13,790 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 U.S. Will Block Iran’s $5 Billion IMF Loan Bid to Fight Virus The U.S. plans to block Iran’s request for a $5 billionemergency International Monetary Fund loan to fight coronavirus, the latest signal that the Trump administration isn’t going to ease up its maximum-pressure campaign despite a growing international outcry. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has billions of dollars stashed away that could be tapped to fight the virus, according to a senior administration official, who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations. Iran wouldn’t meet IMF financial transparency requirements regardless, the official said. The Trump administration says Iran has rebuffed its offers of help. Officials have also pointed to remarks by President Hassan Rouhani that U.S. sanctions haven’t prevented Iran -- one of the worst-hit nations in the pandemic -- from getting the medicine it needs. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-04-08/trump-administration-will-block-iran-s-5-billion-imf-loan-bid Dreams of you and me are in the dirt.

Cocaine Heart 4,768 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 That is really beyond disgusting. I mean how pathetic can you be. They only have about 300 Million for emergency aid, last I heard. That is not even nearly enough especially considering the sanctions. We going to boo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy 14,141 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 The hypocrisy. Trump is allegedly a billionaire and he hasn’t tapped into his Private funds for his nation. Why should the Ayatollah be expected to? This is not a show of support for his regime by me, far from it, but to risk the health of millions on petty hypocrisy is cruel and troublingly bereft of any shade of morality.

Maleficent 6 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Anyone who has studied the modern-day Iranian government knows for fact that that 5 Billion will not reach the people of Iran. It will line the pockets of the mullahs while people die. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Trump (arguably) did not make his billions by stealing them from the general populous. The Ayatollah is not a businessman, where do you think his money comes from?

I mean...Trump made it by swindling businesses and also not paying people which is a form of theft lololol what I’m saying is that it’s absolutely not Trump’s place to be talking about moral high ground.

Cocaine Heart 4,768 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Funny how the sanctions regarding Russia and China to conduct limited nuclear work with Iran was waived last week because guess what, the US needs urgent supply of Cobalt 60 to sterilise medical equipment. One wonders if these were waived a long time, how much more of this stock would be readily available during this crisis. We going to boo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
