The United States and Qatar have reached an understanding not to allow Iran to access the $6 billion funds reserved for humanitarian assistance.
U.S. Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo told Democrats behind closed doors on Thursday that the U.S. and Qatar had reached a “quiet understanding” not to move the money, a person familiar with his comments told Semafor. The news comes as U.S. officials probe whether Iran was directly involved in the Hamas attack on Israel over the weekend.
Adeyemo told the lawmakers the funds would not be moving anytime soon, the person said.

Good. It was a horrible plan.
Polling data is in.
Iran will get the money anyway.
I hope it’s really true
How long before we know for sure?
They lie so much who really knows
Humanitarian aide? It’s all money laundering
Of course they now may have a $6 billion line of credit. But I trust the (b)administration to stay on top of this. NOT! But, I do trust the Qatari folks to stay on top of it. NOT!
🙏🇮🇱👍
Two disreputable liars make an agreement. LOL
The money should go to Iran only if and when they get rid of the Nazis in their current govt and replace them with relatively sane rulers.
But that’s not going to happen anytime soon.
Isn’t the leadership of HAMAS in Qatar? Why were the frozen funds moved from South Korea to Qatar of all places? Something smells fishy.
Words. I don’t for one minute believe it. The bribes were already paid.
That is interesting——
MANY of the high up HAMAS leaders LIVE IN Qatar.
Anyways...the UN is screaming about no water, food and electricity....and this money was for humanitarian purposes only (cough cough) My bet is that the UN is going to push to have it released.
My guess is that most to the money is already gone and we are being hoodwinked with a cover story.
What has the trust of muslims gained the western world?
Yeah. They saw the kick in the ass they were going to get and suddenly they ‘changed’.
Had no one been watching I have no trouble believing this money would have gone out to them. I still wonder how this was happening anyway because Iran has a history of funding Hamas.
Not sure I believe it, but it sounds good on paper. Biden’s got an election to win, after all.
This is after over $700 million in previous funding. One of Saturday’s attacks originated from a “refugee camp” located in Gaza.
The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) said Wednesday that it has only enough money to continue its work until the end of the month, and is “urgently seeking” $104 million in new funding.

Good. The reasons for doing it might be bad, but the result is definitely good. Iran hates Israel, and far more importantly, they hate us, no matter how much Obama wants the ayatollahs to love him. The idea of giving money to a theocracy dedicated to killing Americans and our allies is pathetic.
wait
i thought the 6b had nothing to do with it
hmmm...so maybe it does
