Freezing Iranian Funds and the Role of Qatar
The United States and Qatar have frozen Iran's access to a $6 billion humanitarian account amid Iran's connection to the terror group Hamas. The Biden administration faced mounting pressure to block Iran's access to the funds, resulting in a quiet agreement that no money will be spent from the fund. However, concerns arise as the fund is controlled by Qatar, an Iranian ally suspected of giving safe harbor to Hamas. The relationship between Iran and the Hamas invasion of Israel remains uncertain, with conflicting reports from the White House and earlier news sources.
