Obama like ‘drug dealer-in-chief’ after Iran payment, says Republican senator

Republican senator Mark Kirk said on Sunday that Barack Obama was “acting like the drug dealer-in-chief” when his administration used the delivery of a $400m payment to Iran as what it called “leverage”.

Kirk made the statement during an interview with the editorial board of the State Journal-Register, a local newspaper in his home state of Illinois.

“We can’t have the president of the United States acting like the drug dealer-in-chief,” Kirk said, according to comments published late Saturday. “Giving clean packs of money to a … state sponsor of terror.”

“Those 500-euro notes will pop up across the Middle East,” he added, referring to the currency in which the money was paid because US law makes it illegal to have transactions with Iran in US dollars. “We’re going to see problems in multiple [countries] because of that money given to them.” – READ MORE
