The Biden administration and Qatar have agreed to freeze the infamous $6 billion given to Iran in a controversial prisoner swap.
This will be welcome news to the many people who pointed out Iran's long history of supporting terrorism and that even an indirect infusion of cash would allow them to spend their own reserves on that quest.
Iran has expressed support for the massacres that occurred, though it has denied direct involvement.
Would the administration have backtracked if it didn't have direct intelligence that Iran did help plan and finance the Hamas attacks? I'm skeptical given how dutifully they defended the release of the $6 billion until now.
While ostensibly an ally, Qatar has protected Hamas and worked with Iran to undermine U.S. interests for decades.
Regardless, every cent that is kept away from Iran and its "Supreme leader" is one less cent spent on terrorism against Israel and the rest of the world.
We'll have to see how this is spun at the next White House press conference.
