However, he emphasized that \u200dthis \u200cis just the beginning and there are no guarantees about what lies ahead.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>A Complex Exchange<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Under the terms of the agreement, the Biden \u2064administration \u200bwill release several Iranian nationals \u2062convicted of \u2063evading U.S. sanctions. \u2062Additionally, \u200cnearly $6 billion of Iran\u2019s oil revenue, previously\u200c frozen due to \u2063sanctions, will be \u200dunfrozen and transferred to an account in the central bank of Qatar.

They\u2063 will then be\u2063 flown to Doha,\u200b the capital city of Qatar, as a gesture \u2062of gratitude \u200cfor their \u200bpivotal role in negotiating\u2064 this arrangement.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Lessons Learned<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>President\u200b Joe Biden faced significant \u200cbacklash last year\u200b for agreeing to release \u2062convicted Russian terrorist Viktor Bout\u2063 in exchange\u200c for \u2063WNBA player Brittney Griner.
