US and Qatar authorities have decided not to let Iran access its previously unlocked $6bn in funds for the time being in light of the Hamas attack on Israel, The WP reported.
And the reason for this was that US lawmakers claimed that Iran allegedly may have provided financial support to Palestinian groups.
Iran denies the allegations and says it had planned to use the funds for humanitarian needs.
We previously reported that these funds were to be unfrozen in exchange for Iran releasing American prisoners.
Iran honored its part of the deal and the Americans returned home in September. But apparently now they are not going to see the promised funds unfrozen.
