The Biden administration paved the trail for the discharge of 5 detained American residents in Iran by granting a common exemption for international banks to switch $6 billion in frozen Iranian funds from South Korea to Qatar, exempting them from U.S. sanctions. As a reciprocal measure, the administration additionally dedicated to releasing 5 Iranian residents detained within the United States.

Enes Kanter Freedom, who was successfully ousted from the NBA in February 2022 for his outspoken stance on the remedy of Uyghur Muslims by communist China, criticizes the Biden administration for releasing $6 billion to Iran, a state sponsor of terror:

“The United States classifies Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism. Releasing the funds will only feed Tehran’s appetite for taking more and more hostages. They will spend that $6 billion funding terrorist attacks against America and our allies.”

Releasing the funds will solely feed Tehran’s urge for food for taking an increasing number of hostages.
