Original Note:
Saying that Biden “gave” the Iranian government $6 billion USD is misleading. - Iran already possessed the funds, they were simply unfrozen - It was not a “gift”, it was in exchange for the release of American prisoners - The money can only be spent on humanitarian aid https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/09/18/politics/iran-money-explainer/index.html https://www.npr.org/2023/09/18/1200196491/iran-is-gaining-access-to-about-6-billion-in-the-deal-to-release-5-americans
