Likewise, I thought Iran had already spent the 6 billion in the attack against Israel.

Seems odd that I don’t see anyone else reporting this. You would think it would be Breaking News.

Aren't Hamas Sunni Arabs and didn't they support the overthrow of Assad in Syria?

That sounds more in line with Saudi Arabia than Iran.

Then there is this. How Israel Helped to Spawn Hamas

Washington Post

“U.S. officials and the Qatari government have agreed to stop Iran from accessing a $6 billion account for humanitarian assistance in light of Hamas’s attack on Israel, Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo told House Democrats on Thursday, according to two people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the private remarks.”

Hey Obama/Jihad Joe/Iran Administration, how about ending the War on Energy and not allowing Iran oil to reach the market? As far as I can tell the Obama/Jihad Joe/Iran Administration works for Iran. They have done nothing for the American People except make life difficult and more expensive.

https://www.dw.com/en/how-iran-is-boosting-oil-exports-despite-us-sanctions/a-64562167

America needs to be energy independent. The Obama/Jihad Joe/Iran can not have that. End the War on Energy.

That’s the public story, not the story.

I have zero doubts that Biden and footprint Kerry will get the Iranians anything they need.

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.

U.S. out of U.N. U.N. out of U.S. They're nothing but a viper's nest of antisemites and anti-Israel filth. I wouldn't believe them if they said water was wet.

The next BIG step is for Qatar to immediately deport the Hamas commander, Khaled Mashal, who is directing Hamas barbarism from a comfortable office in Doha, Qatar.

The U.S. should demand the murdering savage be kicked out of Qatar or America will launch a precision, cruise missile into the Doha building housing the terrorist monster.

Since there is a huge US military base in Doha, as well as other forces allied with the US, and preplaced stockpiles of weapons, no cruise missile needed. Forces can make a short drive and roll up in front.

Hamas is mostly funded by Iran.

$26 billion supposed to be released-
nat gas output up 500%
oil output up 25%
into climatescam prices

It’s the Saudis behind Hamas!

The $6 billion you’ve seen in every (other) headline is only the money being transferred from our friends in Qatar. But this is separate from the $10 billion of assets being transferred from Iraq, which Goldberg says will continue on “a rolling basis.” Then there are the reports that Iran will be allowed to access $7 billion in fiat currency by trading drawing rights with the International Monetary Fund. He also says Japan is scheduled to transfer $3 billion to Iran.

Anyone hear anything about the other $20billion?

The United States and Qatar have reached an understanding not to allow Iran to access the $6 billion funds reserved for humanitarian assistance.

Ok, so Iran can only take a loan against the bank account! See the $6 Billion is still there!

Humanitarian assistance.... MMMM.. exactly which country would be the one handing out the humanitarian assistance in Iran....MMM... I'll take Iran for $6 Billion Alex!

Paraphrasing Chuck Schumer: The Iranians have Six Ways from Sunday of Skimming off any financial assistance program....

What are you trying to say? That Trump's original decision blew up in his face?
