The USA did not send Iran $6bn. In exchange for prisoner releases, Biden issued sanction waivers permitting transfers of frozen Iranian money from South Korea to Qatar. Access is limited to humanitarian purposes. In October 2023, Qatar agreed not to release the funds. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-66784817 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna120135
