House Votes to Halt Iran's $6 Billion Access in Prisoner Swap

The House of Representatives has passed a bipartisan measure to block Iran from accessing the $6 billion recently transferred in a prisoner swap, citing concerns over Iran's alleged role in supporting terrorism. Republicans argue that the funds, although restricted to humanitarian needs, could free up other money for Tehran to support Hamas. The measure, titled the No Funds for Iranian Terrorism Act, imposes new sanctions on the funds and threatens to sanction any government or individual involved in processing the transfer. The resolution now goes to the Senate, where it is unlikely to gain support from the Democratic majority.
