Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that none of the $6 billion released by the U.S. for humanitarian aid in Iran was used to help fund Hamas’ attack against Israel on Saturday, which resulted in hundreds of deaths.
Anchor Dana Bash said, “While we’re talking about Iran, I have to ask you to, if you want to respond to what we’re hearing from Republicans who are over and over since this happened using word appeasement when it comes to Iran and they criticized the decision to unfreeze $6 billion in Iranian funds. I know and want to state that that money has not yet

What about the 50 plus billion the Obama admin gave them. Guess they used it for the same humanitarian that Biden admin says they are going to use it for. Once a dem always a liar.

Blink lied under oath at his confirmation hearing. Why would anyone believe him when he isn't under oath? Quid Pro Joe sent the Towel Heads 6 billion (minus his 10%). They ordered weapons from the Norks to commit mass murder. Each person who voted for The Delaware Dummy is complicit in murder.

LIAR
Billions left to the goatherders in trashcanistan.
Pallets of cash to the mullahs.
Our "friends" the house of Saud emptying our pockets with every fillup.
Our "rulers" lie to us with impunity because we let them.
Never forget the lives and limbs lost to countless wars financed by us the taxpayer at the behest of our "rulers".
All of it to enrich the few and enslave us one way or another...

First, money is fungible so as it was coming in to Qatari banks, existing money could be spent to fund the Hamas operation. Second, Qatar is on the side of Hamas so in what world are they trustworthy in how the money is distributed? Besides, Iran already said they would use the money however they want to. Finally, the Biden administration restored assistance to the "Palestinians" as soon as the regime was in power (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-palestinians-usa-blinken/u-s-restores-assistance-for-palestinians-to-provide-235-million-in-aid-idUSKBN2BU2XT). To hell with milquetoast Blinken and his half-truths and outright lies.

Those are weasel words. On par with Bubba's 'It depends on what the meaning of is is". technically the $6 billon were Iran's frozen funds. But the net effect is the same. This man must think we have a third grader's understanding of the world.

It wasn’t 6 Billion dollars 0'Biden gave Iran. It was actually 16 billion....The Six billion was made public, but he kicked in another ten billion a week later, and that was kept fairly quiet.

Fox News Jennifer Griffin said none of $6 billion has been spent. Griffin is either soft in the head or intellectually dishonest.

Money is fungible. The money this administration sent to Iran replaces money Iran spent to fund this operation.

Whether the actual dollar bills were used or not is neither here nor there. Just them having it frees up other monies to be used on this incident.

every time I see this guy & whether he says anything or not, I feel a very deep resentment against him and diapers and the rest of the communist cabal they've managed to assemble in that corruption laden city in DC & I triple that feeling when I think of comrade obama and his faction of traitors so adamantly working to destroy our country

It does not matter where the 6 billion dollars made available to Iran by Biden and his crew came from, or wether that money was or was not directly used to finance the war that is now ongoing in Gaza and Israel. By negotiating with Iran and making 6 billion dollars available from anywhere to Iran to get 5 duel national Iranian-American hostages released from Iranian custody, Biden gave the Iranians a psychological boost by them knowing that Biden will “cave” in a clinch for what he and his crew believe will bring them a political advantage in the upcoming U.S. presidential election campaign.

If you have to give the disclaimer, I'm thinking you're lying. US taxpayer dollars are funding our destruction; it's not a stretch to think we're also funding Hamas. Especially with all the lying, cheating America hating people who've stolen their way to power.

it's about the $10''s of billions Iran raked in when we looked away at sanctions violations, or the $zillions they get from selling oil to China w/our permission --- that has our fingerprints on it, thanks to Joe and the Blinken idiot. it turns my stomach along with the reinstituting of payments to Palis when Biden came in, enabling Pay to Slay. they are in it up to their necks - dragging the good name of the US in the mud. nauseating.

How many $6billions does Iran have that we have frozen? Obama sent pallets of cash, now Biden has done so. This is not our fault, nor Israel's.
