The Biden administration has issued a waiver allowing Iran access to $6 billion in oil revenue blocked by U.S. sanctions.
Iran will then be permitted to use the funds to buy food, medicine or other humanitarian items allowed under sanctions.
In addition, the administration told Congress it would free five Iranian nationals under detention in the United States in exchange for five Americans held in Iran .
The move is the latest sign that the prisoner exchange is moving ahead.
