Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) will try to pass legislation to refreeze Iranian assets amid Hamas’s attacks against Israel.
The bill would refreeze the $6 billion in Iranian assets that the Biden administration unfroze as part of a prisoner exchange last month. The legislation comes as Hamas, a U.S.-designated terrorist group backed by Iran, has launched rockets and invaded Israel since Oct. 7, shooting and killing people, raping women, and taking people hostage.
