Biden Cut Iran A SECRET DEAL?

A secret deal?

I wouldn’t put it past The Biden Administration to be conducting secret deals with hostile foreign nations, but this one might not be as bad as you think.

According to reports, the deal was a prisoner exchange which was supposed to take place, but has not yet been honored by either government.

This could potentially be a good thing for our fellow citizens locked up abroad, and them coming home is the most important thing. No American should remain locked up in a foreign country.

The problem with this is the secrecy. I wonder what else The Biden Administration has secretly promised Iran.

Here is what we currently know about the proposed exchange:

Reuters highlights a denial of the alleged deal:

In response, Price said: “With respect to the comments on the Americans whom Iran has unjustly held against their will, we see just another cruel effort to raise the hopes of their families … There is no agreed deal yet.”

“We had been engaged in indirect talks on the detainees in the context of the Vienna process, and the delay in restarting that process is not helping,” Price added. “While it would be more effective to make progress if we were meeting in Vienna, we are also prepared to continue with talks on detainees during this period.”

Iran, which is holding a handful of Iranian-Americans, has been accused by rights activists of arresting dual nationals to try to extract a concession from other countries. Iran has dismissed the charge.

NTD News previously reported that a deal may have been in the works earlier this spring:

Iran was a key topic of discussions Monday between U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and his host in London, British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab. Their meeting took place a day before the first face-to-face meeting of foreign ministers from the Group of Seven leading industrial nations in two years, largely due to the coronavirus pandemic. Iran, Ukraine, China, Russia, climate change and COVD-19 are expected to dominate the talks.

Blinken’s visit to London, his first since being appointed by President Joe Biden, comes amid mounting speculation of a prisoner swap deal with Iran. Such exchanges are not uncommon and were a feature of the 2015 nuclear accord between Iran and the world’s leading powers. Biden has indicated he is looking to restart nuclear talks with Tehran after his predecessor, former President Donald Trump, pulled the United States out of the agreement in 2018.

“The reports coming out of Tehran are not accurate,” Blinken said at a press briefing after their meeting, adding that he had “no higher priority” than bringing all detained Americans home.
