The United States has reportedly reached an agreement with Qatar to prevent Iran from accessing $6 billion of its funds held in Qatari banks. The funds have been frozen due to U.S. sanctions against Iran. The agreement was reached quietly and without a formal announcement. The move is seen as a way to prevent Iran from using the funds to support militant groups such as Hamas, which the U.S. and Israel consider a terrorist organization.

The funds in question are part of Iran's oil revenues, which have been frozen due to U.S. sanctions. The U.S. has been working to prevent Iran from accessing these funds as part of its broader strategy to pressure Iran to halt its nuclear program and its support for militant groups in the region.

The agreement with Qatar is seen as a significant development in this effort. Qatar has close ties with Iran and has been a key intermediary in negotiations between Iran and the U.S. The agreement is seen as a sign of Qatar's willingness to cooperate with the U.S. on this issue.

However, the agreement has also been criticized by some who argue that it is a concession to Iran. They argue that the U.S. should be taking a tougher stance against Iran and should not be making deals that could potentially benefit Iran.

The U.S. government has not officially confirmed the agreement, and it is unclear when or if it will be formally announced.
