White House Won’t Commit to Freezing Billions in Prisoner Swap Funds if Iran Was Directly Involved in Attacks on Israel

On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Katy Tur Reports,” White House National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby stated that Iran is “complicit” in funding terrorism but wouldn’t commit to refreezing the $6 billion unfrozen by the prisoner swap with Iran if it turns out Iran was directly involved in the attacks.
Kirby stated that while there isn’t yet any specific intelligence of direct participation by Iran in the attack, Iran has been a supporter of terrorism for a long time, and “in that regard, clearly, Iran’s complicit here.”
Host Katy Tur then asked, “You have told me that the money that was unfrozen for Iran, that $6 billion, is not cash that gets handed to Iran, it is aid that gets handed — material aid, medical supplies, etc. It’s never going to be cash. If our intelligence community does find that Iran had a hand in this, a direct hand in this attack, does that $6 billion, that aid, get refrozen?”
