Iran and US set for prisoner swap

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : SOME $6 billion of Iranian assets in Qatar have become a key element for a planned prisoner swap deal between Tehran and the US, an Iranian official said today.
47% : That money was then sent to Qatar, which has acted as a go-between in negotiations between Tehran and Washington.
39% : The announcement by Mr Kanaani comes weeks after Iran said that five Iranian-Americans are now under house arrest as part of a confidence-building move while Seoul allowed the frozen assets, held in South Korean won, to be converted into euros.
22% : The deal has also already opened US President Joe Biden to fresh criticism from those, such as the Republican opposition, who say he is helping to boost the Iranian economy at a time when Iran poses a growing threat to US troops and their Middle Eastern allies.
