Biden Admin, Iran Reach $6B Deal: ‘Largest Hostage Ransom Payment’ in US History
(Worthy News) – The Biden administration has agreed to pay Iran $6 billion for the release of five imprisoned Americans, but experts say this will only encourage Iran to seek more hostages as a “lucrative means of international extortion for Iran’s supreme leader.”
The United States and Iran reached a deal on August 10 for Tehran’s release of five wrongfully detained Iranian-Americans in exchange for the release of several Iranian prisoners jailed in the U.S. and access to $6 billion in sanctioned oil revenue that’s being held in South Korea.
The freed Iranians include Siamak Namazi, Emad Sharghi, Morad Tahbaz, and two unnamed individuals whose families want their identities to remain anonymous. [ Source: CBN News (Read More…) ]
