Original Note:
No US taxpayer money went to Iran or Hamas. The US waived sanctions to allow the transfer of $6 billion in Iranian funds from South Korea to Qatar. This is monitored by the US Treasury & can only be spent on humanitarian aid. All transactions must be approved by US Treasury https://www.reuters.com/world/us-allows-6-billion-transfer-part-iran-prisoner-swap-2023-09-11/ https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/18/politics/iran-money-explainer/index.html
