You claim you know Obama released the Iranian cash to American victims of Iranian terror yet you have no knowledge of the facts or details. Your support of your opinion is very weak.
Justices Roberts and Sotomayer ruled in 2016 that neither Congress nor the president has the right to turn Iranian cash over to the victims of Iranian terrorism, delaying any distribution of the cash until the issue is resolved. The SCOTUS ruling came after Obama took it upon himself to give billions of dollars of frozen funds to the terrorists who seized control from the Shah to whom the money originally belonged.

Supreme Court Rules Frozen Iranian Money Be Turned Over To U.S. Terrorism Victims

Rescuers search through the rubble of the U.S. Marine barracks Oct. 23, 1983, in Beirut after a suicide truck bombing. The blast — the single deadliest attack on U.S. forces abroad since World War II — killed 241 American service members. The Supreme Court decided Congress can pass a law compensating the victims, and those of other attacks, using Iranian government funds.

The Supreme Court handed Iran's central bank
a loss on Wednesday, saying Congress acted constitutionally when it passed a law saying nearly $2 billion in frozen Iranian funds should be turned over to Americans who U.S. courts had found were victims of Iranian terrorist attacks.
The issue here was not whether Iran should pay; instead it was whether Congress had infringed upon the territory of the judiciary by essentially awarding damages.
Here's how
NPR's Nina Totenberg explained the case back when it was argued in January:
"In 2012, President Obama froze nearly $2 billion the Iranian central bank had concealed illegally in an account in New York. Congress then amended an existing anti-terrorism law to strengthen it. The new law specified those funds were to be used to pay off the court judgments that found Iran responsible for 19 separate terrorist attacks against Americans around the world."

Writing for a 6-2 majority, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said that historically Congress and the executive branch have been given wide latitude on issues of foreign policy, and this is no different.
"By altering the law governing the attachment of particular property belonging to Iran, Congress acted comfortably within the political branches' authority over foreign sovereign immunity and foreign-state assets," Ginsburg wrote.
Chief Justice John Roberts, a conservative, and Justice Sonia Sotomayor, a liberal, dissented. Writing for the two, the chief justice accused Congress of "commandeering the courts to make a political judgment look like a judicial one." The Constitution, he said, "commits the power to decide cases to the Judiciary alone. Yet in this case, Congress arrogated that power to itself," tailoring the law to make sure that one side would win.
