The United States has been engaged in an effort to ease longstanding financial restrictions on Iran and has taken steps to aid the Islamic republic as it seeks to access billions of dollars in frozen assets, some of which could be used to fund the country’s global terrorist enterprise, a top State Department official testified to Congress.

The disclosure of this effort comes amid reports that the Obama administration is pursuing a plan that would grant Iran unprecedented access to the U.S. dollar and American financial markets, a move the administration had vowed would not take place under the comprehensive nuclear agreement.
Thomas Shannon, the State Department’s undersecretary for political affairs, informed lawmakers that efforts to aid Iran’s access to funds includes direct engagement from the Obama administration.
"There will be instances in which we need to help Iran access that money by rewriting clarifying the regulations under which money can be transferred to them," Shannon said under questioning from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
