US# lawmaker wants answers on #Iran payment and Tehran's funding of terrorism

Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) said he’s “gravely concerned with the nefarious possibilities” of what Iran could do with $1.7 billion in cash from the United States

The Hill, 13 Sep. 2016- A Republican congressman is asking the Treasury Department whether a recent cash payment to Iran could be used to fund terrorism, and how the department plans to keep that from happening.
Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) said he’s “gravely concerned with the nefarious possibilities” of what Iran could do with $1.7 billion in cash from the United States. He sent a letter sent Tuesday the Treasury under secretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, outlining his fears.
At issue is a payment made to Iran by the U.S. earlier this year to settle part of a 1970s lawsuit between the countries. The payment, converted into European cash and airlifted to Iran, preceded a prisoner swap between Iran and the United States.
