Iran may free 5 US citizens as part of swap deal FMTNews FMTWorld
Washington and Tehran currently are at odds on issues from Iran’s nuclear programme and support for Shi’ite militias.
The identity of the fourth US citizen who was allowed out of prison has not been made public, nor has that of the fifth who was already under house arrest. Iran’s mission to the United Nations, however, told Iranian state media the release of the dual nationals from prison was part of a US-Iranian prisoner exchange deal.
However, he said the funds, if transferred from the South Korean banks to another financial institution, would go from one restricted account to another and could only be used for humanitarian purposes such as buying food or medicine.
