Americans detained for years in Iran arrive in US after their release, US official says

Five Americans who were jailed in Iran for years have been released and flown back to the US in a controversial prisoner swap deal mediated by Qatar.
The released prisoners, who are dual Iranian-US citizens, include a businessman who spent eight years in Tehran's notorious Evin prison, as well as a businessman and an environmentalist. The deal also involved the release of five Iranians held in the US and the transfer of Iranian funds.
The prisoner swap could potentially pave the way for future diplomatic efforts between the US and Iran, particularly regarding the nuclear program. However, analysts remain skeptical about the prospect of reaching a deal.
