Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Thursday blamed Trump for Joe Biden’s $6 billion gift to Iran.
The Hamas attack against Israel comes just weeks after Biden released $6 billion in funding to Iran.
The Biden administration has issued a waiver for banks to transfer $6 billion in frozen Iranian oil funds without fear of U.S. sanctions — a key step in securing the release of five American citizens detained in Iran, people familiar with the matter said. As a part of the arrangement, the administration will release five Iranian citizens detained in the United States.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken blames President Trump for Biden's $6 billion gift to Iran — even as Biden has allowed Iranian oil exports to skyrocket by refusing to enforce Trump-era sanctions.
