Republican senators are intensifying their efforts to freeze $6 billion in Iranian assets as the Israel-Hamas conflict continues. GOP senators, including Mitch McConnell and Marsha Blackburn, have unveiled a bill to halt the release of the funds, arguing that the money could end up in the hands of Hamas. The push to refreeze the funds comes as tensions escalate in the region, with calls for a ceasefire. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has warned that allowing Hamas to continue existing could lead to further conflict. The move by GOP senators aims to prevent the release of the funds, which they view as a 'ransom' payment by Iran.
