Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and fellow Republicans are urging President Joe Biden to rescind the $6 billion “ransom” agreement with Iran in light of the recent attacks on Israel.
“The Biden administration is refusing to acknowledge Iran’s role in the unprovoked terrorist attacks on Israel. But Hamas and Hezbollah members say not only did Iran help plan for months, they gave the official green light in Beirut last week,” Blackburn wrote Sunday. “The United States should not be sending a single penny to Iran — let alone $6 billion. I am immediately calling on Biden to reverse course and cancel the ransom agreement.”
On X, previously referred to as Twitter, she referenced a Wall Street Journal article stating that Iran played a role in plotting the lethal attacks against Israel in her tweet thread, Breitbart News reported.
On Monday, former President Donald Trump asserted that the Biden administration’s decision to release $6 billion in frozen Iranian funds is to blame for the terrorist attack in Israel.
