“...five American prisoners...”

They are ALL Iranians. Very likely undesirables, i.e. homosexuals. Let Iran execute them. /spit

10% is what 600 million?

First thing I thought of too. Plus, of course, some overhead for "administrative fees" within the negotiators. It's "mordidas" in Spanish...

That’s even more $ than all WNBA players combined are worth.

They are worth about 3 dollars and 17 cents.

Namazi deserves to come home, that was a power grab by Iran; Shargi less so; and Tahbaz should be left behind.

No matter how this plays out, all 5 must be compelled to agree to being placed on "Do Not Fly" and forfeit leaving the US permanently.

Iran did get a good deal. Joe Biden probably got a taste too. America? Well she got screwed, again.

If that’s the case, they should tell people to only take the flu which seems to be the most popular one to take.

Yeah, no kidding pal. Thanks for the tip on Americanism and the Constitution.

My concern here is with US citizens who are either dual citizens or have personal attachments to foreign countries. There are those in this category (not saying it is these five people in particular) who then choose to become embroiled in the disputes of the Old Country, thereby sucking in the rest of us when it goes badly for them over there. I hope that was not the case here but am taking a wild guess that it was.

“includes the release of five Iranian citizens held in the U.S.”
So...Iran gets 5 prisoners back, plus 6 billion dollars?
That Biden bunch is a shrewd bunch, USA in a lose/lose deal!

Biden continues the Obama tradition of negotiating with enemies like a drunk girl at a frat party.

I understand all five were dual citizens, Iran/US. Were they being held in prison? Had they committed any crimes in Iran?? Or were they living in their homes in Iran wanting a free ticket back to the USA??

“So they do this, they announce it to Congress on 11 Sep 2023?
Are they obtuse, or mocking us?”

The latter, PghBaldy.

Do your penance for making us vote for McCain and Romney. Your turn - vote Trump.
