Breaking News: Qatar Admits $6B Iranian Funds Arrived in Doha
Iranian president talks prisoner swap, $6 billion deal with US
Qatar Confirms $6b In Iranian Funds Transferred To Doha
Impressive well done both USA 🇺🇸 and Iran 🇮🇷
The funniest possible ending to this swap, completely possible, is that the U.S. releases the Iranian prisoners in the U.S. from federal custody and once the U.S. prisoners in Iran are out the U.S. re arrests the Iranian prisoners in the U.S. before they can leave the U.S.
For those expressing concern about this money, it's important to clarify that the funds in question were frozen by the US and originally intended for payment in exchange for Iranian oil. This isn't the US providing aid or giving ransom to Iran so there's no need to CRY. Just Chill.
Thanks! So many people either didn't watch and/or listen to the video or they are just willfully ignorant.
Iran will rightfully spend the funds to improve the well-being (school, hospital, social programs) and protection (drones, missiles, and nuclear research) of its citizens. They will make a few accounting mistakes just like the Pentagon.
its their money
Is that why US citizens live way better life than Iranians
US paying Iran with Iranian own money, and giving condition what to do with that Iranian money, how smart Super Power
It's a good and balanced deal no winners no losers
after playing with sanctions , US has discovered that their influence has detoriated; ;enemies are uniting and the game is no longer in their favour . pacification was their only resort
Well,we can't say that Iran has got that money as ransom.Actually, Iran has got back its money which was frozen by the USA.
This was an obvious move by the US to soften relations with Iran. The Iranians will see through this move and will take advantage of it while still maintaining close relations with Russia. The US has little interest in it's citizens abroad unless it benefits them politically. Gonzalo Lira, an American citizen, is still being held incommunicado in an Ukrainian prison with no help from the US. It does not benefit them politically to help him.
Nahhhhh it's IRAN's money, did you listen to the video?
As long as the money is theirs u don't have to plan for them how to use.
They can use for their own now the money is in their hands
I DON'T KNOW WHY GOVERNMENT TRUST UNITED STATES
AMERICANS! Home! Good news.
With the US just printing money these days it's actually free
then us should cough up the other 94 billion owed to iran then, lol
@syncopated feb there's more to be 'traded' 🤣
Unjustly, I’m sure just like the ones US detained in Guantanamo?
Lets not forget Iran backed Qutar when it was blockaded by the saudis. They are repaying the favor
💯💯
🌹👍👍
🤣🤣🤣. Easy $!
*Iran🇮🇷 have islands disputes with UAE.*

They are Iranian islands, there was no UAE before they became a part of Iran.

"Coup 53"
An incredible documentary film made by Taghi Amirani of the 1953 Coup in Iran. Worth checking out if you have an interest in Iran-U.S and U.K history, Oil, CIA, MI6 and BP.

Why give it to them. It's Iranian-Americans going there knowing full well that theyre at risk.
Beautiful game between America and Iran at the foolish Arab golf's country's

Or... a deal was made that benefited both countries and got Americans home.

@Persuasive Barrier yes they are! and the USA could give the money to charities working in Afghanistan.
@Muslim Response no they aren’t
Didn't Obama do the same thing. Sending planes filled with CASH over to the Iranian leaders in the middle of the night?
Yes, half a billion.
Making deals with the terrorist! Bad move.
