You&#8217;ve got the Biden administration saying: \u2018Don&#8217;t worry, it&#8217;s all about humanitarian aid.\u2019 The problem is the people who are going to be getting the $6 billion aren&#8217;t saying that. The president of Iran himself went on TV, [NBC], said: \u2018This money belongs to the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Mr. Garcia mentioned that according to the U.S. government, the funds are intended solely for humanitarian purposes, drawing an analogy equating it to providing money to an addict with the expectation that they would use it to buy food.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During her speech, U.S. Representative <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/youngkim.house.gov\/media\/press-releases\/rep-young-kim-fights-hold-iranian-regime-accountable\" rel=\"noopener\">Young Kim said<\/a>, \u201cI rise in strong support of H.R. 5967, the No Funds for Iranian Terrorism Act, to keep Iran from accessing the $6 billion in assets that were unfrozen in September. This bill imposes sanctions on international financial institutions that process, participate in, or facilitate transactions using or involving the $6 billion in unfrozen Iranian assets that were transferred from South Korea to Qatar in exchange for five hostages kept in Iran in September.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe also now see Iran\u2019s proxy militia and terrorist organizations carrying attacks on U.S. troops and military assets in Syria and Iraq.
