"Kirby's Opposition to $6B Iranian Funds Fueling Hamas Attack"

National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby denies claims that the $6 billion in Iranian funds released by the U.S. last month allowed Iran to support Hamas in its attacks on Israel. Kirby argues that the funds were never frozen and were part of accounts set up by the Trump administration. He asserts that the money remains in Qatar and is being closely monitored by the U.S. government. Kirby also emphasizes that even if accessed, the funds would be used for approved humanitarian purposes and not by the Iranian regime. The transfer of funds has faced renewed scrutiny following Hamas's recent attack on Israel, but U.S. officials maintain that the funds have remained unspent.
