5 Americans Freed From Iran Prison As US Hands Over $6BN In Controversial Deal
• Zero HedgeThe five American citizens (dual nationals) who had been imprisoned in Iran are on their way toward freedom, having been flown from Tehran to a Doha airport where they will be swapped for two Iranians who had been imprisoned in the US. "Simultaneously, the three other Iranian prisoners who lived in the US have been freed," Iran's Nournews said. Axios has also confirmed the Americans have been freed from Evin prison.
On Monday two Qatar banks received the transfer $6 billion in frozen Iranian money from South Korea via the SWIFT international payment system. The Biden administration had issued a sanctions waiver to make it happen without running afoul of US law. Amid the swap unfolding, news wires are reporting this unexpected development:

If you think that the government gives a shite about these 5, you have your head up your arse. This is about nothing more than funding Iran for some unknown reason. It would make sense if you are helping the globalists to bring in the NWO as Iran will be used as part of the tool to bring down the imperialistic US. (which might not be a bad thing in itself)
