"Iran's $6 Billion Prisoner Swap Raises Questions Amidst Hamas Attacks on Israel"

The recent Hamas attacks on Israel have drawn attention to the Iran-backed group, with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken stating that Iran has not yet spent any of the $6 billion in funds that were unfrozen in a U.S.-Iran prisoner swap in September. The funds, which were Iranian money frozen in South Korean banks, are currently being overseen by Qatar's central bank in Doha and can only be used for humanitarian-related purposes. Critics of the deal argue that allowing Iran access to these funds improves its budget situation and could potentially be used to support Hamas.
