Original Note:
5 detained U.S. citizens were exchanged for allowing Iran to access $6B of its own funds that were frozen. It can only be spent on humanitarian aid. The money is in Qatari banks with their oversight. Iran has not accessed the money, according to the US. https://www.politifact.com/article/2023/oct/09/the-us-freed-6-billion-in-iranian-money-did-it/ https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/18/politics/iran-money-explainer/index.html
