GOP Excoriates Joe Biden for Paying ‘Ransom' to Terror in ‘Disgraceful' Deal with Iran on 9/11 Anniversary
[Breitbart] Republican officials blasted the Biden administration for paying “ransom” to the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism after it reportedly approved a “shameful” deal with Iran to pay the Islamic regime $6 billion in exchange for five detained Iranian-American citizens on the anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

“It’s ridiculous for US to be blackmailed into paying $6B for hostages which will help indirectly finance the number 1 foreign policy of Iran: terrorism,” wrote Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley.

“Last time it was $1.7B traded for hostages next time it will probably be $10B,” he added, “the price keeps going up & up.”
