The Biden administration is preventing Iran from accessing the $6 billion the U.S. recently transferred after Hamas, an Iranian-backed terrorist group, launched a brutal attack against Israel, The Washington Post reported Thursday.
The Biden administration originally cut a deal with Iran to transfer $6 billion in previously frozen assets in exchange for five American prisoners. The administration is now working with fund manager Qatar to hold up the $6 billion after Iran’s ally Hamas launched a wave of attacks against Israel on Saturday, killing over 1,200 Israelis and at least 25 Americans and kidnapping hundreds more.

This will only last a week or three, then they will unfreeze it, and no harm will be done to the Iranian nuclear weapons program.

I read that the money is already in the Qatar bank and they will not release it.

I expect this will last only until the heat is off, then, during some other crisis, they will quietly unfreeze it again. Democrats hate Israel, but most know to keep their mouths shut after this horrendous terrorist attack.

This is a cover story. Like Ukraine for the Western Alliance, Qatar is the washing machine for all Middle East money. Iran will get their billions.

Obama and ValJar will be displeased. For some reason they support the Iranians. May that support of the #1 terror patron in the world come back to break their political necks and end their influence. Biden, too. He's the puppet while they hold the strings.

Wake me up when I see the pallets of cash unloaded at the airport outside of the reach of any Islamic regime.

I contend Iran already has the money. Just an accounting slight of hand.

That was step 1. Now enforce the sanctions against Iran and shut down their oil production, which is their source of money.

Do not trust the Biden administration to keep this money from Iran. If there is any way it can be secretly given back to them, democrats will do it. Biden will gladly help terrorists kill their enemies. Be prepared Americans, he has let thousands of unknowns in this country and many of them are here to do us harm. Keep your wits about you.

Then let the USAF and USN do $6B worth of damage to Iranian military and naval facilities and infrastructure. At least then the U.S. taxpayers get some satisfaction for their money.

The Biden Administration claims that none of the $6 billion has been touched. That might be true. However, the Iranians can probably borrow money from other sources, based on the promise of getting it someday. Also, how much does it cost to have equipment smuggled from where it was left in Afghanistan to Gaza? Probably not much.

Publicly, they shut it down. Quietly they'll open up the coffers, hours after the press moves on to the next outrage.

ValJar, who controls Obama, will order Obie, who controls Biden, to order Biden to release the money from Qatar to the Ayatollahs when things cool off. The newest, eventual Speaker of the House should order the funds be forfeited to the USA to pay for all the weaponry and aid we will be sending to Israel. AND any further monthly payments of $5m to $30m being sent as foreign aid to the Palistinians should be immediately halted.

The swamp in DC know they cannot win in 2024...so now they plan a war that will call for martial law...and no one will be allowed to vote....Washington is so broken that it will take generations to set our feet on the right path....

I thought the Biden Marxists said it never was available. Why does it needs freezing if it already is. Is someone (Blinking) lying?
