That's conjecture, unless the Mullahs already briefed you on their plans.
Maybe it's conjecture. Let's just call it suspicion based on known history. For example, the plane that was used to haul the $400 MM was an Iran Air cargo plane. Iran Air was sanctioned by Obama because Iran Air flights were being used by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard to shuttle weapons.

Lawmakers are concerned the IRGC may have gained control of the cash once in Tehran. U.S. officials said they are not certain how Iran has used the $400 million that was returned.
