John Kerry: Obama administration gave Iran 'a little bit of money'
Former Secretary of State John Kerry denied that money from a $1.7 billion payment the United States made to Iran in 2016 went toward funding Iran�s recent attack on U.S. bases in Iraq.
Kerry described the payment as a "little bit of money" and accused Secretary of State Mike Pompeo of lying about what Iran used the 2016 cash payment for. Kerry asserted that most of the money was used to pay off Iranian debts and fund economic programs.
"We gave them a little bit of money that was released at that period of time," Kerry said. "But the fact is the [Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps] had all the money it wanted."
