US and Iranian delegations gathered in separate hotels in Doha – “within sight of each other, but not within earshot”, to reach an agreement on a deal to release five Americans detained in Iran, CNN quoted a US official as saying. However, the official, who is familiar with the negotiations, stressed that the on-and-off hotel meetings in the Qatari capital, which were being held for over more than a year, saw no face-to-face meetings between the US and Iranian delegations.
Under the deal, Tehran will release five Iranian Americans from custody in return for the freeing of five Iranians jailed in the US, along with the unfreezing of some $6 billion in Iranian assets
