0:28Now PlayingFive Americans freed in a prisoner-swap deal with Iran landed safely in Qatar, the latest step in a diplomatic effort that Washington hopes could ease regional tensions and open space for progress on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program.
The detainees landed just before sunset in heat of 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius) in Doha on Monday afternoon. They were greeted by Qatari and American officials, and one waved to journalists in the tarmac before the group was escorted away.
“Today, five innocent Americans who were imprisoned in Iran are finally coming home,” President Joe Biden said in a statement. He thanked Qatar and Oman for helping negotiate the agreement “over many months of difficult and principled American diplomacy.”
