This smells of bullshit. If anything, it was owed to the Shah, not the current fucks. Did Iran pay the 400 million to the US government in the past? If so, where did it go?

Apparently, yes, Iran paid the US money for arms in the 70's but the deal fell through US was like, fuck you, we are keeping it. It went to an international court so there is some record.
