How do conservatives feel about the $800 million dollar deal?

The 800 million dollar deal was a deal that was made 7 years ago by Obama to lift the sanctions off of Iran in exchange for the release of 5 prisoners. They also had a cash payment of 1.7 billion dollars paid in cash. 800 million dollars of this was US taxpayer dollars. <br><br>The US government gave Iran pallets of cash as part of the deal, and didn't even deny that it did. But that's their right as an independent nation. <br><br>I'm conservative, but I don't understand why this was a big deal. Yes, it's shitty that they're a terrorist state and they don't deserve the money, but Iran could have been far worse if Obama had decided not to pursue diplomacy. <br><br>Iran has always been a threat, and while Obama isn't perfect, certainly Trump is far worse with his 13,000+ lies and misspending of taxpayer dollars on the wall. But Trump also has a point in that Iran is a terrorist state. In fact recently there was a plot to assassinate the US Ambassador to South Africa. That comes from Iran, so they're still a threat. <br><br>Iran has also continued to violate agreements, and they also conducted secret tests. They're known to be untrustworthy. <br><br>With that being said, I don't believe Iran was ever going to be a big threat. They do still have their issues, and the US could certainly help them with their problems. <br><br>I just want to know how conservatives feel about this topic. I don't get the issue with it.
