Marsha Blackburn Is Actually Looking to Do Something About That $6B Biden Released to Iran

Given the support that Hamas had from Iran, many have called out the Biden administration for its move to provide the country with $6 billion--a decision that was announced on September 11--as part of a prisoner swap. As the money has reportedly not actually gone to Iran yet, Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) has called on President Joe Biden to void the agreement and freeze the payments.
The senator posted about the crisis in the Middle East several times over her X account over the weekend, with multiple posts addressing the funds. That wasn't all she did, though. On Monday, Blackburn circulated a letter to her fellow senators asking that they be co-signers to calling on the president to freeze the payments. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is CC'ed on the letter.

These horrific attacks come on the heels of the State Department issuing sanctions waivers for Iranian funds held in South Korean accounts to be converted from won to euros and then transferred to bank accounts in Qatar," the letter points out.
