Having finished digesting its acquisition of Harris-Teeter, grocery store giant Kroger (NYSE:KR) is rumored to have an appetite for yet another acquisition.
(AP/Iranian Presidency Office) The Obama administration on Wednesday paid $490 million in cash assets to Iran and will have released a total of $11.9 billion to the Islamic Republic by the time nuclear talks are scheduled to end in June, according to figures provided by the State Department.
But still at issue as Obama began his second term was $400 million that Iran in the late 1970s had paid for U.S. fighter jets, while Tehran was still a U.S. ally. After it turned into an enemy in 1979, Washington was not about to deliver the jets. But, all these years later, Iran wanted its money backâand with interest.
