Leader Scalise slammed President Biden for making $6 billion available to Iran despite their known sponsorship of terrorist groups like Hamas, and for failing to rescind the funds even after the horrific October 7th attacks on Israel. Additionally, Leader Scalise pointed to the Iranian President’s statement that the Iranian government will spend this money wherever they decide – including to support terrorism – and emphasized that releasing any funds to Iran ultimately provides funds for terrorism.
