Cornyn Calls on Biden to Freeze $6 Billion Iran Transfer - U.S. Senator John Cornyn joined a group of 19 Republican colleagues in calling on President Biden and the U.S. State Department to immediately rescind the waivers that allowed Iranian funds to be converted and moved to more accessible bank accounts and urged them to work with Qatar to immediately freeze the accounts containing these funds. They wrote: “Iran is the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, and Wall Street Journal reported that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps worked with Hamas to plan the ongoing attacks on Israel. These horrific attacks come on the heels of the State Department issuing sanctions waivers for Iranian funds held in South Korean accounts to be converted from won to euros and then transferred to bank accounts in Qatar. We must stand with Israel and restrict access to these Iranian funds. Iran should be placed under the most stringent sanctions admissible. Anything short of this is unacceptable and only aids in the ability of Iran and Hamas to fund these heinous acts."
