Iran seeking 'many billions of dollars' in ransom to free recent US hostages/

Iran is seeking “many billions of dollars” in payments from the United States in exchange for the release of several U.S. hostages still being detained in Iran, according to reports by Iran’s state-controlled press that are reigniting debate over the Obama administration’s decision earlier this year to pay Iran $1.7 billion in cash.

But Obama is the first U.S. President to be able to reach an agreement on nuclear weapons, he made history.

Iran received billion of dollars, sanctions lifted, their top nuclear scientist released, all charges dropped on Iran's spies caught in the U.S. and a long list of other items on their dream list.

What did we get from the deal...a ransom demand.
