#Ungrateful: a thread. Because apparently some people need to know this stuff.
- Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe isn't a journalist
- The £400 million paid was a debt, not a ransom
- The debt is from 1979
- An international court ordered the UK to pay it in 2009
1. - Iran has been asking for payment in exchange for Nazanin's freedom since 2016
