Those funds will be held in a bank in Qatar to only be used for the purchase of humanitarian goods that the US gets to approve. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/u-s-makes-deal-with-iran-to-swap-prisoners-and-release-6-billion-in-frozen-money https://www.forbes.com/sites/willskipworth/2023/09/11/us-reportedly-strikes-prisoner-swap-deal-with-iran-and-agrees-to-unfreeze-6-billion-in-iranian-assets/
