14. It's both unfrozen Iranian funds and other investment funds in the ME

It's not US tax dollars going to Iran. Let's be accurate about this.

It's a complete disaster, the US is giving Iran everything they want. There will be no IAEA inspectors so the nuclear part of the deal has no teeth and is basically nothing. The US is getting nothing out of this deal, zero. The entire war was for nothing.

And taxpayers are out plenty. This war cost us $70B and that's not including rebuilding all of the facilities Iran damaged of our throughout the region, price tag will easily eclipse $100B. And the economic cost globally will approach $1 Trillion.

And I don't even know if the cease fire holds because Trump basically negotiated for Israel without Israel's sign off on any part of the deal.
