Biden administration reaches tentative deal with Iran to release Americans from house arrest in exchange for Iranian prisoners and access to frozen funds

Five Americans have been released from prison in Iran to house arrest as part of ongoing negotiations between the US and Iran.
In exchange, the US has agreed to release Iranians imprisoned for violating sanctions and give Iran access to $6-7 billion in frozen oil revenue funds.
The funds will be transferred to restricted accounts in Qatar that Iran can only access for approved humanitarian purposes.
If negotiations proceed as planned, the prisoner exchange and fund transfer could be completed by mid-late September.
While welcomed progress, negotiations remain delicate and the deal does not resolve ongoing tensions over Iran's nuclear program and regional military activities.
