House Republican bill backed by over 100 lawmakers would refreeze $6 billion in Iranian funds
Fox News
Over 100 House lawmakers are introducing a bill to rescind the waiver authority used to unfreeze $6 billion in funds to Iran as part of a prisoner swap.
"A month ago on the anniversary of 9/11, the Biden administration unfroze $6 billion and made it available to Iran — the world’s largest state sponsor of terror — while Iran was helping Hamas plan the horrific terror attacks on Israel," Pfluger said in a statement. "This $6 billion will be used to backfill the money that Iran is paying to Hamas if we don’t act."

The unfreezing of the money took place nearly a month before Hamas terrorists launched a massive, deadly attack on Israel over the weekend. Republicans have focused on the money as a way that the U.S. may be enabled Iran to support the Hamas attack. It is a claim that the Biden administration has repeatedly rejected.
