Obama didn’t give them free money, he returned what was theirs all along.
If what you say is true, then he gave individuals' money to the Iranian government. Did the pallets of cash also come with some sort of manifest for how it should be distributed and who owned it? Do we have an audit trail that we can inspect to make sure that all the people injured by the sanctions were restored? I'm going to guess "no", and I'm also going to guess that there was no oversight whatsoever to how it was spent.
So in reality, the Iranian government got free money, and everything you just said is hollow words.
Government would be privy to the accounts sanctioned. So account holders could claim their funds I imagine. I don’t know how the Iranian government operates, just banks.
