And?
Context clarification on the $1.7 billion Iran got in 2016: it wasn’t a gift. As usual, Trump misleads and/or makes things up:
The Obama administration did approve a $1.7 billion payment to Iran in 2016 and later reporting said the money was delivered in foreign cash. The payment was not simply given or a gift to the Islamic Republic. It represented the settlement of a decades-old legal dispute regarding $400 million that Iran paid the U.S., before the 1979 Iranian Revolution, for military equipment it never received, plus roughly $1.3 billion in interest.
When the settlement was announced on Jan. 17, 2016, Obama said, "Iran will be returned its own funds, including appropriate interest, but much less than the amount Iran sought." He added that the agreement could save the U.S. billions of dollars compared to the possible outcome if the case had continued.
1.7 billion settlement was paid in cash because sanctions had isolated the Islamic Republic from the international financial system. As a result, the payment was made in euros, Swiss francs and other foreign currencies rather than through a bank transfer.
Did Obama send $1.7B in cash to Iran? What posts get right and omit
Former President Barack Obama's administration did transfer $1.7 billion to Iran in 2016, but social media posts often omitted the reason why.

Sorry to disagree. It was a gift imo. Obama is a heavy sympathizer to Iran, anything Islam. John Kerry right there with him as his daughter married top Iranian official. To be fair every Admin since the 1970s is to blame for this situation Even Trump to a degree thinking you can wheel an deal with these zealots. Biggest problem all admins have made is confussing regualr joe Iranian citizen with the ones in charge. They have a totally different prisim, world view. As has been evidenced past couple of months, you cant negotiate with them. Same for their proxies.Context clarification on the $1.7 billion Iran got in 2016: it wasn’t a gift.

NCSNOW,
Sympathizer or not, Obama didn’t “gift” the $1.7 billion to Iran. It was $400 million owed to them in a legal settlement plus $1.3 billion in interest as my source just clearly explained.
