President Biden did not give $6 billion to Iran. The $6 billion was frozen Iranian money which has been unfrozen and transferred to a Qatari bank, the spending of which can only be for humanitarian purposes as overseen by the US Treasury. None of the $6 billion has been spent. https://www.factcheck.org/2023/10/republican-claims-on-hamas-attack-and-iran-funds-distort-the-facts/
