0:59Now 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 clear a path for new limits on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program.
A plane carrying the detainees landed in Doha on Monday afternoon. Five Iranians imprisoned in America are also set to be freed. In an effort to show that it’s not letting up on pressure against Iran, the US also announced sanctions Monday against former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence.
“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.”
