Returning Iran's own money.

And why did Obama do this? Just to fund terrorism or was it because a long standing debt that was finally settled and enforced by the International court in The Hague?

Obama was ordered to pay this money and the principal sum was (only) 400 million and the rest was interest.

The Obama administration paid $1.7 billion to Iran in 2016 to settle a decades-old, pre-1979 failed military arms deal dispute. The payment, consisting of $400 million in principal and $1.3 billion in interest, was made in cash and delivered via airplane, which officials argued was necessary due to severe restrictions on Iran within the international banking system. 

Key Details Behind the Payment:

• Failed Arms Deal: Following the 1979 Iranian Revolution, the U.S. failed to deliver military equipment that Iran had already paid for, prompting a long-standing case at the Iran-U.S. Claims Tribunal at The Hague.

• Settlement Timing: The payment was announced in January 2016, coinciding with the implementation of the Iran Nuclear Deal (JCPOA) and the release of American prisoners held in Iran.

• Leverage for Prisoners: While initially denying a connection, the State Department later admitted the $400 million cash payment was delayed to serve as "leverage" to ensure the safe return of American hostages.

• Litigation Risk: The Obama administration argued that settling was in the U.S. interest, avoiding a potentially higher legal cost if the tribunal ruled entirely in Iran's favor. 

The payment was strongly criticized by opponents who argued the cash, delivered in foreign banknotes, constituted a ransom payment for hostages, a claim the administration denied, insisting it was a separate legal settlement.
