In an article with Breaking Israel News, AIC Founder and President Dr. Hooshang Amirahmadi discusses some of the misunderstandings surrounding the money that Iran will receive under the sanctions relief agreed to in the recent nuclear deal. He points out that the money freed by sanctions relief will only gradually be released by the Iranian government, and that it will not be used exclusively for military purposes. He says, "Most likely, the military will get most of [this money]. In the Iranian budget as we speak, about 34 percent of it goes to the Revolutionary Guards and others in the military. And then the rest will go to social programs, economic programs, and so on… As we speak, [Iranian] public employees have not been paid for a long time, so the Iranian government owes the people a lot of money.”
