Contrary to Biden-administration spin, to media repetition of same, and thus to popular belief, the $6 billion as to which President Biden waived sanctions — on September 11 of all days — so that it could be transferred to Qatar for Iran’s benefit has not been “refrozen.”

Commentators should stop saying that the Biden administration, under pressure from Republicans and other critics, got Qatar to accept a rescission of the waiver and deny Iran access to the funds. It’s not true.
