Five dual nationals jailed for years in Iran and widely regarded as hostages are on their way home to the United States.

The last pieces in a controversial swap mediated by Qatar fell into place when $6bn (£4.8bn) of Iranian funds held in South Korea, paid by the US, reached banks in Doha.

The US also granted clemency to 5 Iranian nationals, who were mainly being held on charges of violating US sanctions.

Today’s Mishal Husain spoke to Elika Ashoori, the daughter of Anoosheh Ashoori who was released earlier this year from Iran alongside Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe.

She said: “Personally I am happy for the families. But also on a broader level, it’s highly frustrating.

“I do believe that these deals, as long as they’re happening, they’re validating this practice of hostage diplomacy.”
