??? Remember the Monroe doctrine ? Including the overthrow of the monarchy of Hawaii (or Texas for that matter) so whom is/was the bigger shark ? With regards to the Iranian money: the US previously accepted the arbitration. Would the US prefer to not use arbitration at all ? Then it would be a simple matter of who is the strongest.
