KERRY ADMITS SOME OF IRAN SANCTIONS WINDFALL WILL GO TO TERROR: Days after Iran received hundreds of billions of dollars in sanctions relief from the controversial nuclear deal, USA Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday, 21 Jan. 2016, admitted a portion of the massive funds will go to terror. Speaking at the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Kerry spoke about the massive kickback Tehran is receiving after nuclear sanctions that were lifted last weekend. "I think that some of it will end up in the hands of the IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) or other entities, some of which are labeled terrorists," he acknowledged to media sources. Iran itself is designated as a state sponsor of terror by the USA, and the USA Department of Treasury designated the IRGC's Quds Force, which is responsible for missions abroad, as a terrorist organization in 2007. Iran likewise has been propping up its Lebanese terror proxy Hezbollah, an internationally recognized terror group which has an estimated 150,000 missiles pointed at Israel. Kerry also tried to play down the estimates of just how much Iran is receiving in sanctions relief, with estimates placing the figure at between $100 billion and $150 billion. He claimed those estimates were incorrect, saying that Iran owes a large amount in foreign debt and therefore it will "only" be left with a windfall of $55 billion to fund its terrorism. (Arutz-7)
