“Just this morning, we found that this administration transferred $400 million in cash on a pallet in an airplane heading to Iran,” Pence said Wednesday during a campaign rally in Colorado Springs, Colo.

Reports emerged Tuesday night that the Obama administration covertly transferred $400 million to Iran last January.

The payment, which consisted mainly of foreign currencies, occurred around the same time Iran released four American prisoners.

The money was part of a settlement with Iran concerning a 1979 arms deal, which occurred before the Middle Eastern nation experienced a regime change.

The White House later Wednesday denied the transaction amounts to a ransom for the freedom of Americans in Iranian captivity.

“No, it was not,” press secretary John Earnest said when asked if it constituted a ransom. "It is against the policy of the United States to pay ransom for hostages.”

Pence said the payment is the latest in a long line of Clinton and Obama’s poor foreign policy calls.

“The judgment of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on the foreign stage speaks for itself,” he said of the president and his former secretary of State.

"We look at the world, particularly the Middle East, in 2009 and then you look at the world today and it’s unrecognizable.”

Pence added his running mate would improve American security at home and abroad.
