In a significant development, approximately six billion dollars worth of frozen Iranian funds have been successfully transferred through Qatar, potentially paving the way for a prisoner exchange between the United States and Iran. Sources close to the matter revealed this information on Monday.

According to one anonymous source based in Doha, “A Qatari plane is already in Iran to evacuate to Doha five American citizens and two of their relatives.” The source further disclosed that both Iranian and American authorities had been informed about the transfer of the entire six billion dollars from Swiss accounts to bank accounts in Qatar. These funds had previously been frozen in South Korea.
