US EditionIran, US on verge of prisoner swap under Qatar-mediated deal
- As part of a prisoner swap deal between the US and Iran, $6 billion of Iranian funds will be transferred to banks in Qatar, triggering the release of detained US dual nationals and Iranian prisoners held in the US. The deal, facilitated by Qatar, involved multiple rounds of talks and required a mechanism to ensure transparency in the money transfer and compliance with US sanctions.
- Four US citizens have been released from Tehran's Evin prison and placed under house arrest, while the identities of the fourth and fifth Americans involved in the swap have not been disclosed. The prisoners will transit through Qatar as part of the exchange.
- The negotiations between the US and Iran bypassed the main dispute over Iran's nuclear program and represent a rare moment of cooperation between the two long-time adversaries. The transfer of funds will be closely monitored by the US to ensure they are not used for sanctioned purposes.
