Iran Prisoner Swap: Five Americans Freed
Secret Negotiations and Bitter Adversary
After years of secret negotiations with Iran, mediated by Persian Gulf nations, top aides to President Biden have secured the release of five Americans who had been jailed in Iran for years.
Frozen Assets and Prisoner Swap
The deal, which involves the release of Iranian prisoners held in the United States, is the latest in a series of high-profile prisoner swaps engineered in secret. It comes after years of escalating tensions between the two countries, with Iran being a bitter adversary of the United States.
Monitoring Iran's Assets
In addition to the prisoner swap, the United States plans to monitor $6 billion of Iranian assets that were once frozen in South Korea and are now in Qatar. This is a key element of the planned prisoner swap between Tehran and the United States.
