Auburn men's basketball coach Bruce Pearl ripped the Biden administration's decision to do business with Iran on Monday in a post on X.
Antony Blinken signed off on the deal late last week, but Congress was not notified of the decision until Monday, the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, according to the notification, which was obtained by The Associated Press.
The transfer of the $6 billion was the critical element in the prisoner release deal, which saw four of the five American detainees transferred from Iranian jails into house arrest last month. The fifth detainee had already been under house arrest. National Security Council Spokesperson Adrienne Watson said Secretary Blinken undertook a procedural step last week"to ensure Iranian funds could move from one restricted account to another and remain restricted to humanitarian trade."
