Four Dual Citizens Involved in the Iran Hostage Swap

I had heard that a deal had been reached with Iran.  But I did not know until I ran across this NPR report that four of the Iranian American held in Iran’s infamous Evin Prison were dual citizens.  They were transferred to house arrest in a hotel yesterday as negotiations for their return continue. A fifth American, who was already on house arrest, is included in the negotiations. Their freedom reportedly will be granted in exchange for Iranians held in the U.S. and the release of roughly $6 billion in frozen Iranian funds.
