Babies beheaded in front of parents. Women raped and killed. Communities slaughtered. What is that idiot Biden thinking??? Iran is at the top of terrorism sponsorship. Not to mention Iran building nuclear weapons. Both parties are against this. You people who put him in office need to apologize to the world now.
NBC NEWS — The Biden administration is reserving the option to halt Iran’s access to $6 billion it is set to receive as part of a prisoner exchange deal the White House and Tehran reached last month, but so far, it sees no need to do so, according to three sources familiar with the discussions.
The White House has faced bipartisan pressure since Hamas attacked Israel to block Iran from accessing any of the $6 billion, particularly as the U.S. tries to assess whether Iran had any direct involvement in the attack.
“These funds should remain frozen until we can determine whether Iran played a role in the attack and what the appropriate U.S. response should be,” Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., said in a statement Wednesday.
Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., issued a similar statement, and Sens. Jon Tester, D-Mont., and Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., on Tuesday called for the U.S. to refreeze the assets.
