Original Note:
Funds were not 'given away.' The U.S. permitted Korea to transfer previously sanctioned Iranian funds back to Iran in exchange for 5 hostages. These funds are restricted for use to buy "food, medicine and other humanitarian items with U.S. oversight." https://www.reuters.com/world/south-korea-working-unfreeze-tehrans-funds-us-iran-detainee-deal-2023-09-18/
