US and Qatar Design Frozen Funds Channel for Iran Humanitarian Spending
💰 DOHA — Washington is releasing Iranian funds through Qatar after publicly denying preconditions. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: The humanitarian framing is the legal workaround — US sanctions permit food/medicine channels, letting Treasury move money without Congress approving full sanctions relief. Tehran gets liquidity now; hardliners can't call it a concession. But Qatar as conduit means Doha holds operational leverage over MOU implementation that no signed text grants it.
