Reply to comment by MuckRaker83 in Pennsylvania Rep. Cutler moved $50M from Speaker's account; Democrats cry foul by themollusk

Iran was pissed at the Shah, and then at the US because it gave them the Shah.

I thought we took in the Shah along with their national Treasury. Or at least a sizable portion of it.

Edit - nevermind, forgot we put the Shaw in place.

The US held onto certain Iranian assets as the result of the Hostage situation. We did not take in their national treasury.
