A | The U.S. and Qatar have reached an agreement to prevent Iran from accessing $6 billion recently unfrozen as part of a prisoner swap, the deputy treasury secretary told lawmakers on Thursday, sources confirmed to ABC News.Deputy Secretary Wally Adeyemo told House Democrats in a closed-door briefing that the money "isn't going anywhere anytime soon," sources said.The agreement comes as the U.S. is scrutinizing Iran's role in backing Hamas, the terrorist group behind the unprecedented attacks on Israel over the weekend. Though the Biden administration said there's been no evidence that Iran played a direct role in the assault, the White House has said Iran is complicit given its decades of support for Hamas.The administration has faced calls from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to re-freeze the funds in the wake of the violent conflict.The $6 billion in Iranian oil revenue was freed up last month as part of the U.S.-Iranian prisoner swap in which five American citizens were freed. It was made available solely for humanitarian purposes and is under strict U.S. oversight.The White House on Thursday repeatedly stressed that Iran has not yet tapped this humanitarian fund."Every single dime of that money is still sitting in the Qatari bank. ... Not one dime of it has been spent," National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters.But Kirby went to great lengths not to comment publicly on this new understanding to prevent Iran from tapping these funds.ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Mary Bruce pressed Kirby about whether Iran could access the money if it wanted to."What I can tell you is none of it has been accessed and we are watching every dime as you would expect we would," he responded. "We're watching it very, very closely. ... We have oversight over -- over what can be assessed and for what purposes."Asked whether he didn't want to discuss the matter because of concerns that it would imply Iran's culpability, Kirby again stressed, "All I can tell you is we haven't seen any specific evidence that Iran was involved specifically with these attacks, but as we've said, broadly, yes, they're certainly complicit."Peppered with questions on the funds repeatedly during the press briefing, one reporter finally asked: "On the $6 billion, I'm trying to figure out if you' re saying that policy hasn't actually changed in any way or just that you aren't willing to talk about changes that may have happened in the last 24 hours?""Bingo! It's the last one," Kirby exclaimed.Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who visited Israel on Thursday in a show of support, also stressed the $6 billion fun could only be dispensed for humanitarian goods, medicine, medical equipment, and has "never touched Iranian hands.""We have strict oversight of the funds and we retain the right to freeze them," Blinken said.。 广告 暴雨红树林河边露营,搭起帐篷听雨声,围着火堆静静放空 0:50 广告 广告 广告 了解详情 > 会员跳广告 首月9.9元 秒后跳过广告 开通视频黄金会员,尊享更高品质体验! 1080P及以上画质仅为黄金会员专享> 开通/续费会员 抱歉,您观看的视频加载失败 请检查网络连接后重试,有话要说?请点击 我要反馈>> 正在切换清晰度... 播放 按esc可退出全屏模式 00:00 00:00 28:11 广告 只看TA 高清 倍速 剧集 字幕 字幕 下拉浏览更多 5X进行中 炫彩HDRVIP尊享HDR视觉盛宴 超清 720P 高清 540P 2.0x 1.5x 1.25x 1.0x 0.8x 50 哎呀,什么都没识别到 反馈 循环播放 跳过片头片尾 画面色彩调整 AI明星识别 视频截取 跳过片头片尾 是 | 否 色彩调整 亮度 标准 饱和度 100 对比度 100 恢复默认设置 关闭 单语言 双语言 选择显示语言 中文 English 主字幕(上方) 中文 English 副字幕(下方) 中文 English 关闭 复制全部log 暴雨悄无声息落在红树林河畔,找一处平整的河岸把帐篷搭好。不用说话,就坐在火堆旁边,听雨水敲打帐面,看火苗轻轻跳动。河水缓缓流淌,风声雨声交织在一起,抛开所有繁杂,安安静静享受属于自己的露营时刻。返回,查看更多。
