How much of those funds have been released to Iran? How long has this attack been in planning? Would it have occurred if South Korea frozen Iranian' funds hadn't been negotiated to eventually be released?A good chance the $6bil that Joe released to Iran probably played a factor in the attack. Sure gave them some extra money to work with.
Yep. Though actually extremists on both sides looking to unleash a huge bloodletting just to prop up their own power. And sadly people will blame everyone but the evil people who created this tinder box.The constant reporting that this attack by Hamas was "unprovoked" is bizarre. Netanyahu and his allies have been provoking as hard as they can for as long as they can.

As a second point I forgot to add. If the funds haven't been released to Iran yet, they should stop the transfer immediately.How much of those funds have been released to Iran?

0,
probably months if not well over a year,
definitely.
I am sure Netanyahu might have poked a bit. At the same time, in general the IDF has been very surgical to minimize killing civilians. The indiscriminate slaughter and of Israeli citizens is where they lost any empathy from me.The constant reporting that this attack by Hamas was "unprovoked" is bizarre.

I appreciate the comments, but as this has nothing to do with Tesla Investor Discussions perhaps we could move this to the “off-topic” forum?
Where these threads live is perhaps of interest to moderators. But as a contributor, I couldn't care less. The purpose of these threads on war stuff is to keep such content out of investor discussions.Moderator:

We have a lots of postings that have nothing to do with the title of the forums they are posted too. But I guess if the moderators are OK then I really don’t care. Just an observation.The Ukraine/Russia thread is in this forum that is why I think that is why this one was put here as well.
It is much easier to spend money if you know you are going to get money to replace it! Just like knowing when most people are going to get their paychecks they tend to splurge.
They likely have been in negotiations with the US for some time and know the US always folds (for the most part) to their demands. Once they knew the money was coming, lot easier to open up their pocketbook and spend. Not to mention all the billions they had already got that were supposed to be used for humanitarian purposes...
Don't be naive and don't think that didn't factor into their calculus. Never forget the billions Obama sent in cash previously. Pretty sure some of that money was funneled into terrorism.
Obama should apologize for shameful cash payment to Iran
Any honest assessment would conclude that Iran used at least part of America’s massive payment to finance terrorist attacks.thehill.com
5 Times the Obama Admin Insisted Cash Was the Only Way to Pay Iran - Committee on Foreign Affairs
As details of the administration’s $1.7 billion cash payment to Iran began to leak last month, the administration argued – from President Obama on down – that there was simply no other way to pay Iran. “We couldn't send them a check and we could not wire the money,” the president said on August 4.foreignaffairs.house.gov
Conjecture. Show any proof at all. Besides something coming out of Israel.A good chance the $6bil that Joe released to Iran probably played a factor in the attack. Sure gave them some extra money to work with.
