there better be a damn good accountant keeping an eye on that money, I'm guess Krasnov will get a healthy cut.

I don't think we should just keep the frozen Iranian money and spend it on ourselves. They've been bombed pretty badly and could probably use it back.

The money is Iran's. The funds have been frozen for years.
Also I believe it is not guaranteed but a conditional possibility of the freeze being lifted.
