ARCH-foes the United States and Iran each released five detainees on Monday in a prisoner swap deal that also gives Tehran access to $6 billion in long-frozen oil funds.
The five Americans freed by Iran, including a businessman arrested in 2015, landed in Doha just before 5:40 pm on a Qatari jet, hours after the unblocked funds were credited to Iranian accounts in Qatari banks.
