<p>Federal officials in the United States and United Kingdom have been accused of participating in a prisoner swap deal with Iran that grants the regime access to $7 billion in frozen funds. </p>



<p>As reported by Lebanese TV network <em>Al Mayadeen, </em>the US will release four detained Iranians and unfreeze $7 billion in exchange for the freeing of four Americans that have been accused of spying for the CIA. ;Separately, British leaders are said to have promised more than $5.5 million for the return of British-Iranian hostage Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-white-house-officials-say-the-deal-with-iran-never-took-place"><strong>White House officials say the deal with Iran never took place.</strong></h4>



<p>“Reports that a prisoner swap deal has been reached are not true,” claims Ned Price, a spokesman for the US State Department. “As we have said, we always raise the cases of Americans detained or missing in Iran.”</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-it-s-very-possible-the-prisoner-swap-deal-is-fake-news-but-let-s-not-forget-president-joe-biden-s-long-history-of-giving-money-to-iran"><strong>It’s very possible the prisoner swap deal is fake news, but let’s not forget President Joe Biden’s long history of giving money to Iran. </strong></h4>



<p>Biden served as Vice President in 2015 when the US and allies signed the disastrous nuclear deal with Iran. The deal, which aimed to stop Iran from building a nuclear weapon, lifted economic sanctions and greatly expanded the regime&#8217;s ability to export oil, agricultural goods, and luxury items. ;</p>



<p>Less than a year later, just days before Donald Trump&#8217;s inauguration, the Obama Administration agreed to unfreeze an additional $1.7 billion in Iranian assets in exchange for the return of journalist Jason Rezaian and three other Americans.</p>



<p>If Biden rejoins the Iran nuclear deal (as he has suggested), Tehran could receive up to $90 billion in addition to enhanced export opportunities that could add $50 billion or more to the regime&#8217;s coffers each year. </p>



<p><strong>Editor’s Note:</strong> If this is true, it is pure appeasement similar to what Neville Chamberlain did with the Nazis. This tactic didn&#8217;t work then and it will not work now.</p>
