How would we know? Could be a false flag op.
OTOH, since Iran is known to be a supplier to Hamas, so what if Israel took action? On Oct 7th, Israel was minding its own business being a free democracy.

Israel attacked their embassy, which was an act of war. Remember how you guys wanted to hang Hillary when one of our embassies got attacked, selective memory?

If Canada funded Mexico to launch thousands of rockets into the US, what do you think would happen to Canada? Well, who knows these days. We'd probably just take it and send more money to Ukraine.

“PALLET HOAX! FAKE NEWS!”
There. That should take care of this topic.

50 billion dollars weighs 1.1 million pounds. Exactly what kind of plane did they fly in this "pallet" with?

I guess you think this is like Highlander. There can be only one!
Maybe there were multiple aircraft and pallets.

it all makes total sense, the US withdraws money from Iran's foreign accounts for them and loads it onto multiple aircraft, and in my estimation, a B-52 has a cargo capacity of 77k pounds, 15 B-52s, and unloading about 1% of the worlds 100 dollar bills onto Iranian soil, when 92% of the money in the world is digital currency. This all sounds genius.

I never said you were wrong. Just that there is a possibility that more than one aircraft was there to deliver the cash.
If there were any cash exchanged.
All I know is that Iran is a lot more hostile right now.

let's pretend for a second that the money was already in a frozen account dating back to 79 when Carter sanctioned Iran, promoting European and Chinese banks to seize their money. And during the Obama administration, they got those foreign investments back, totaling 50 billion in liquid assets, and another 70 or so they could not immediately cash in on.
Those would be facts. The idea of flying cash onto their soil is laughable, a bunch of you had your legs pulled on that one.

Once again, where did I say you were wrong in your thinking about the delivery of cash?
I honestly don’t care how much they were given. It’s the assumption that they were given any money from the US that bothers me.

that would have taken an act of Congress if we did, so if you can point out the Bill Obama signed that gave Iran US taxpayer money, I would appreciate it.

Once again, I never said we gave them our money. A lot of people assume we did though. And spare me the nonsense that Congress would have been required to okay the funds. We just spent 20 years in Afghanistan without congress declaring war.

EVERYONE with a brain, said at the time this

was a very bad idea:
President Barack Obama approved the $400 million transfer, which he had announced in January as part of the Iran nuclear deal. The money was flown into Iran on wooden pallets stacked with Swiss francs, euros and other currencies as the first installment of a $1.7 billion settlement resolving claims at an international tribunal at The Hague over a failed arms deal under the time of the Shah.
