There have been bipartisan calls for the Biden administration to refreeze billions of dollars in Iranian assets in light of the latest Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel.

The United States unfroze $6 billion in Iranian assets last month as part of a prisoner exchange with Iran, which supports Hamas, a U.S.-designated terrorist group. Those assets are held in the Qatari banking system.
