US-IRAN-DIPLOMACY-PRISONERS

A plane, carrying five US detainees freed by Iran in a prisoner swap deal, arrives at Davison Army Airfield at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, on September 19, 2023. The United States and Iran on September 18, 2023, swapped five prisoners each in one of the arch-foes' first deals in years as Tehran gained access to $6 billion in frozen funds. The five Americans freed by Iran, including one held for eight years, flew out of Tehran in a Qatari jet, hours after the unblocked funds were deposited in accounts also managed by Qatar.
