'There is no connection between Israel attack and release of 6 billion USD to Iran', Nikki Haley criticized Blinken's statement

US presidential candidate Nikki Haley has criticized Secretary of State Antony Blinken, calling his comments "irresponsible". Blinken's statement follows the release of $6 billion in frozen funds to Iran as part of a recent Hamas terrorist attack on Israel and a prisoner exchange deal, Fox News reported. There is no connection between doing.

Nikki Haley, former governor of South Carolina and former US Ambassador to the United Nations, shared her thoughts while speaking to the media on NBC's "Meet the Press." He responded to Blinken's comments, saying, 'I really think it was irresponsible for Blinken to say that $6 billion doesn't mean anything here.'

He further said that let's be honest with the American people and understand that Hamas and Iran know that they are moving money around as we speak because they know that six billion US dollars are about to be released. And this is the reality.

Blinken earlier responded to Republican criticism of the deal struck by the Joe Biden administration with Iran, which included releasing $6 billion in funds in exchange for five prisoners held in Iran. He stressed that those funds could only be used for specific purposes such as medical supplies and food. "It's very unfortunate that some people are playing politics at a time when so many lives have been lost and Israel is under attack," Blinken said.
