Sec. Blinken: We Have Strict Oversight and We Retain the Right to Freeze $6 Billion to Iran

EXCERPT:

BLINKEN: “The money that Iran accrued in bank accounts, in this case in -- in South Korea, for the sale of its oil, was done pursuant to an arrangement established by the previous administration, the Trump administration. None of the funds that have now gone to Qatar have actually been spent or accessed in any way by Iran. Indeed, funds from that account are overseen by the Treasury Department, can only be dispensed for humanitarian goods, food, medicine, medical equipment, and never touch Iranian hands. We have strict oversight of the funds and we retain the right to freeze them.”
