The money was their own money that had been frozen. The sanctions were lifted in return for not developing nuclear weapons.

For Iran to improve it's economic prospects and be allowed to still make Nuclear weapons (In Secret) and use them by 2025.

Where is the evidence they were developing them in secret? My understanding is nuclear weapons are not easy to make, you need heavy water reactors, uranium, specialists and specialist requirement to say the least. We knew when North Korea had started developing them after all even before tests.

The Iranians are not our friends, yet we would rather side with them than the current occupant of the White House, it is Trump derangement syndrome, yet again.

Ok but will you apply the same to North Korea? Any deal done with them is also going to involve the lifting of sanctions.
No one is saying Iran are our friends but that not developing nuclear weapons in return for a lifting of sanctions is a fair trade and to be honest if it were Trump who did this deal his fans would be calling for the Nobel peace prize as they're doing for North Korea even before a deal.
The main thing I don't get though is what's Trump's plan to stop them developing weapons now? It can't be 'we'll apply sanctions'.....
