- Kerry: Iran Deal Will Fund Terrorists: “It’s likely that some of the billions of dollars in sanctions relief granted to Iran under a landmark nuclear deal will go to groups deemed to be terrorists, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Thursday…Kerry said on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum the U.S. or others can do little to prevent the now-unfrozen assets from getting into the hands of the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps or "other entities" that Iran has supported in the past.” (Matthew Lee, “Kerry: Some Iran Sanctions Relief Likely To Go To Terrorists,” Associated Press, 1/21/16)
