## Resource

In a high-stakes prisoner swap on September 18, 2023, five Americans and five Iranians exchanged places in a deal that also freed nearly $6 billion in Iranian assets frozen in South Korea. This breakthrough, born from months of tense negotiations, offers hope to families torn apart by geopolitics while raising global questions about how Iran will use the funds—and what it means for future U.S.-Iran diplomacy.
