Fox News
Sen. Marsha Blackburn, who is leading the charge against Iran receiving $6 billion of its unfrozen assets, told Fox the money should go to Israel to rebuild after the Hamas attacks.
"The letter that I sent that started the ball rolling on this refreezing that money, 19 of our senators joined me on that letter. And what we wanted is to make certain that that money never gets into Iran's hands. And it should be frozen," Blackburn said. Brandon Gillespie is an associate editor at Fox News.

"[The Biden administration] should rescind the waivers that allowed for that transfer of that money. There should be sanctions on any bank, any country that tries to process those funds for Iran. And quite frankly, I think that the money should be redirected to pay for damages and the destruction that has been done in Israel," she said.
