So disappointing.  The U.S. has allowed Iran to save face at the UN, and didn’t get anything in return—no hostages, no nothing.  It is time for Joe Biden to speak about what it is that Iran is giving as the U.S. is giving.  “Iran regained its vote in the UN General Assembly on Friday after the United States enabled Tehran to use funds frozen in South Korea to pay some $16 million it owed to the world body. Iran lost its vote in the 193-member General Assembly in January because it was more than two years in arrears. It owed a total of more than $65 million, but paid the minimum amount needed to regain its vote.”  See “Iran regains UN vote after US enables UN payment,” Jerusalem Post, Reuters, June  12, 2021.
