Senate Democrats and Republicans unite to demand Biden refreeze $6B in Iranian assets amidst rising tensions with Hamas

Five Senate Democrats, including Joe Manchin, Jon Tester, Jacky Rosen, Tammy Baldwin, and Bob Casey, are joining congressional Republicans in demanding that President Biden reinstate a freeze on $6 billion worth of Iranian assets that were unfrozen as part of a prisoner swap. They argue that the funds should remain frozen until it can be determined whether Iran played a role in recent terrorist attacks and to hold Iran accountable for its support of Hamas. The Biden administration has insisted that the money would only be used for humanitarian purposes, but critics argue that it could free up funds for Iran to support terrorist proxies in the Middle East.
