Euros, Swiss francs and other currencies were packed into wooden pallets and flown to Iran on an unmarked cargo plane, the paper added. The money was procured from the Dutch and Swiss central banks.
The payment was made in foreign currency as it is illegal under U.S. laws to deal with Iran in dollars. Iran also still faces sanctions limiting its access to global markets.
The money was the first installment of a $1.7 billion settlement the Obama administration reached with Iran earlier to resolve a dispute about the non-delivery of U.S. arms purchased by Iran's last monarch, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.
So now imagine how much all this costs: planes, fuel, forex etc.
They could have simply bought 1.7billion dollar in btc which is roughly
1.700.000.000,00 USD = 2.906.276,599 BTC
and make us all rich.
Joking apart, this is the US gov moving cash in wooden pallets to Iran.
