The U.S. and Qatar have reached an agreement to prevent Iran from accessing the $6 billion it gained as part of a prisoner swap deal. The move comes after bipartisan pressure and aims to ensure that the funds are not used by Iran to support Hamas in the ongoing conflict with Israel. The Biden administration has assured House Democrats that the money will only be used for humanitarian purposes and is currently sitting in a Qatari bank. The decision follows calls from lawmakers to freeze the funds, and a House Republican bill is seeking to refreeze the $6 billion in Iranian funds. Iran has not yet accessed the funds, and the U.S. retains the right to freeze them if necessary.
