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.
The money represented the first installment of a $1.7 billion settlement the Obama administration reached with Iran to resolve a decades-old dispute over a failed arms deal signed just before the 1979 fall of Iranâs last monarch, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.
