Possibly. More likely the reason for the swap is to get Iranian agents away from investigators as soon as possible.

Probably some is going to buy the tankers Iran keeps hijacking and taking to its ports.
Skyrocketing gas prices aren’t making Biden more popular.

Perhaps, but, those Iranian agents were in no danger of being investigated; not when democrats are in charge of the investigating agencies.

This is weird :
Iran's diplomatic spokesman Nasser Kanani told reporters in Teheran two of the Iranians released "will return to Iran, one will go to a third country where his family lives and the last two will stay" in the US.

Specifically, who were these guys?? Where did they live in the US?? What is their occupation, why were they in Iran?? What were the crimes against Iran? Did they have American wives and were they living in the US or Iran?? So many questions but so few answers.

Will the $6billion affect the supply of Iranian missiles for the Special Military Operation?

And the same day they take another “dual-national” hostage (no mention of the other nationality besides Iran):
