Fox News
Rep. Anthony D’Esposito, R-N.Y. wrote to Secretary of State Antony Blinken ripping the Biden administration for announcing its $6 billion Iran deal on 9/11.
"The decision to issue sanction waivers and allow the transfer of these frozen Iranian funds is both deeply troubling and detrimental to our national security," the first-term congressman wrote in the letter obtained by Fox News Digital.

"Your own department’s most recent ‘Country Reports on Terrorism 2021’ stated that 'Iran continued to be the leading state sponsor of terrorism, facilitating a wide range of terrorist and other illicit activities around the world,'" D'Esposito said. "The report goes on to detail how Iran uses a global procurement network to bolster its military capabilities and support terrorist activities globally. Allowing Iran access to this $6 billion only further enables the country to facilitate terrorism throughout the Middle East and around the world."
