TL;DR Summary

Iran demands that the United States fulfill its agreement to transfer $6 billion in frozen funds through Qatar, despite the US halting the process following Hamas's recent assault on Israel. The US and Qatar have reached an agreement to temporarily withhold access to the funds. Iran, which supports Hamas, denies involvement in the attack but celebrates it as a "success." The White House has frozen the funds but has not found evidence of direct Iranian involvement. The transfer of the frozen funds was part of a prisoner swap between the US and Iran.
