House Republicans Raise Concerns Over Biden's Iran Deal

Three top House Republicans have expressed "deep concern" about a potential agreement between the US and Iran, criticizing the deal for releasing $6 billion in frozen funds to Iran in exchange for the release of American prisoners. They accuse the Biden administration of reaching a secret nuclear understanding with Tehran, which they believe threatens US national security. The Republicans argue that if the agreement is true, it would violate a provision in the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015. The Biden administration denies any ties between the prisoner exchange and funding release and nuclear conversations, stating that negotiations are ongoing. Republicans have criticized the deal for potentially funding Iran's military and encouraging future hostage-taking.
