Davos, Switzerland (CNN)Secretary of State John Kerry acknowledged to CNBC Thursday that some of the money Iran received in sanctions relief would go to groups considered terrorists.

 

When asked about whether some the $150 billion in sanctions relief to Iran would go to terrorist groups, Kerry reiterated that, after settling debts, Iran would receive closer to $55 billion.

 

He conceded some of that could go to groups considered terrorists, saying there was nothing the U.S. could do to prevent that.

 

"I think that some of it will end up in the hands of the IRGC or other entities, some of which are labeled terrorists," he said in the interview in Davos, referring to Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps.

 

"You know, to some degree, I'm not going to sit here and tell you that every component of that can be prevented." continuedโ€ฆ.
