The United States and Qatar have reached an understanding not to allow Iran to access the $6 billion funds reserved for humanitarian assistance.
U.S. Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo told Democrats behind closed doors on Thursday that the U.S. and Qatar had reached a “quiet understanding” not to move the money, a person familiar with his comments told Semafor. The news comes as U.S. officials probe whether Iran was directly involved in the Hamas attack on Israel over the weekend.
Adeyemo told the lawmakers the funds would not be moving anytime soon, the person said.

Biden is following Trump...Trump is able to identify the problems sooner
“why does Qatar have a say in this? Why is the money even there?”
I read that the money was originally in South Korea, but the ROK government decided it wanted nothing to do with it and the account was transferred to Qatar.
p
You got that right, except the Biden gang doesn’t know how to, or doesn’t want to, react rationally when the situation gets critical. Of course, Biden’s bosses might not want him to react rationally.
Took ‘em long enough to decide. How long do they dither over the color of shyte? (Braveheart reference)

Turns out the frozen $6B under POTUS TRUMP had strings!
According to John Kirby (White House Comm Director) the cash is available to IRAN, BUT, Trump tied the use of it up Strictly for Humanitarian purposes inside Iran for the Iranian people for humanitarian supplies.
******~~~~~~~~
KIRBY can’t have liked explaing that FACT to the WH Press Corp, an hour ago in KJP WH press conference.
We the USA, require approval of the humanitarian vendor-suppliers.
This must be the reason the $6B has not been touched. So far.
GOD BLESS TRUMP, POTUS!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The money was in S. Korea from Iran for whatever.
Trump tied the use of it up Strictly for Humanitarian purposes inside Iran for the Iranian people for humanitarian supplies.
Now, here’s the rest of the story, which the Biden admin conveniently leaves out.
S. Korea hesitated to release any funds for fear of being in violation of sanctions.
It was the Biden admin that provided “waivers” to S. Korea.
I normally don’t like this place but they have “facts” we never hear about, so I do go there to get stuff.
“Given South Korean banks’ entrenched reluctance to participate in the programs to disburse funds to Iran, Miller said, “it was necessary” for the Biden administration “to make these waivers to allow the transfer of money from these accounts, through bank accounts in Europe, ultimately to Qatar.”

FURTHER;
“Interesting. Did I err? Kirby said the “former president” set the expenditure up as “humanitarian purpses” only, and with only “US approved vendors”. Or, did Kirby fib?
I would think if it were Obama who added strings that Kirby would have named him and credited him for the wisdom behind doing so. I did assume Trump.”

If true... Qatar are Hamas’ financiers
It’s part of the three card monte set up by the Deep State/Creep State/Demagogic Party.
The decision is to not release the money, or not admit it was already released?
