I'm sure Iran did more than plan

They've been funding Hamas for decades.

@beckyromero i know. And Iran just got $6 billion from the Biden administration.

@HoraceGreenley

No. They got $6 billion from international banks for oil sold by Iran to South Korea, funds that were frozen when Trump imposed sanctions on Iran in 2019. All we did was sign a necessary waiver for the banks to be able to release the funds.

South Korea got the oil. Now Iran has got payment. And hostages were freed as part of the deal. I don't see a problem with any of that.

@beckyromero Well we know it was part of the hostage exchange. Otherwise, why pick that moment to release the money?

@HoraceGreenley

But WE did not give Iran any funds.
