You don't pay anything to enemies, period.1. There was no payment. The money was transferred to an account in Qatar. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/10/us/politics/iran-us-prisoner-swap.html The United States will also transfer nearly $6 billion of Iran’s existing assets in South Korea, putting the funds into an account in the central bank of Qatar, according to the people familiar with the deal. The account will be controlled by the government of Qatar and regulated so Iran can gain access to the money only to pay vendors for humanitarian purchases such as medicine and food, they said. 2. An immediate result of the transfer was the release of American citizens held by Iran. Negotiations have been under way to return the surviving 10/7 hostages to Israel. Israel will have to make concessions or the hostages will be doomed. |
