U.S. makes deal with Iran to swap prisoners and release $6 billion in frozen money Politics Sep 11, 2023 4:33 PM EDT WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration has cleared the way for the release of five American citizens detained in Iran by issuing a blanket waiver for international banks to transfer $6 billion in frozen Iranian money from South Korea to Qatar without fear of U.S. sanctions. In addition, as part of the deal, the administration has agreed to release five Iranian citizens held in the United States. Secretary of State Antony Blinken signed off on the sanctions waivers late last week, a month after U.S. and Iranian officials said an agreement in principle was in place. Congress was not informed of the waiver decision until Monday, according to the notification, which was obtained by The Associated Press. The outlines of the deal had been previously announced and the waiver was expected. But the notification marked the first time the administration said it was releasing five Iranian prisoners as part of the deal. The prisoners have not been named. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/u-s-makes-deal-with-iran-to-swap-prisoners-and-release-6-billion-in-frozen-money |
Probably dead under the rubble just like thousands of Palestinians. Gaza does not have the resources or equipment to quickly remove all the rubble, so bodies are just decomposing. |
Biden did not care about the US hostages. He made that very clear. |
Do they have phones and Internet at golf resorts? |
Could someone please explain this situation to me like I’m in 4th grade? Serious request. I just can’t keep up right now. |

It appears that Iran got its own money back and both countries got their citizens back in a prisoner exchange or if you prefer the terminology, hostage exchange. When you put your money in the bank, do you not expect to retrieve it without someone holding your funds for ransome. |
Biden voter says “what’s going on”? Lol |
Ask a Democrat. |
Just like the “Gaza war” didn’t start on Oct 7th? |
Not if you take people hostage, you don't. You democrat pacifists are absolutely disgusting. It's no wonder there's turmoil all over the place. You F everything up. |
