Still trying to wiggle out of it, I see. After the 1979 seizure of the American Embassy in Tehran, the United States froze about $12 billion in Iranian assets, including bank deposits, gold and other properties. According to U.S. officials, most of those were released in 1981 as part of the deal for the return of U.S. hostages taken in the embassy seizure. But some assets—Iranian officials say $10 billion, U.S. officials say much less—remain frozen pending resolution of legal claims arising from the revolution. en.wikipedia.org And that doesn't even begin to address the question of do you really believe that the Iranians didn't put those assets somewhere else after they were unfrozen?
