"Biden Administration Grapples with Iran Sanctions Relief Decision Amid Congressional Pressure"

The Biden administration has renewed a sanctions waiver allowing Iran to access over $10 billion in frozen funds, drawing fierce GOP opposition. The waiver permits Iraq to transfer electricity payments to Iran via third-party countries, with the State Department insisting the funds can only be used for humanitarian supplies. However, critics argue that the waiver frees up cash for Iran's global terrorism operations, prompting concerns about the regime's support for terrorist groups. Republican lawmakers are pushing for legislation to cut off Iran's access to previously frozen funds.
