  + stars: | 2023-09-21 | by ( Jennifer Hansler | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
Senior State Department officials spoke to CNN about what happened on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive details. The Iranians even threatened not to include all five of the Americans in the release unless the US did more, the officials told CNN. “We held our line and the Iranians backed down and we made it work,” a senior State Department official said. But the Qatari officials, in a smooth diplomatic maneuver, countered that they would be offended if everyone did not eat while on board the Qatari plane and an agonizing final delay was avoided. ET, the US plane carrying the seven Americans, Carstens, Paley and other US officials departed Doha en route to the US.

US citizens Siamak Namazi (R-back), Emad Sharqi (L) and Morad Tahbaz (C) disembark from a Qatari jet upon their arrival at the Doha International Airport in Doha on September 18, 2023. President Joe Biden celebrated the release of five American prisoners from Iran on Monday. "Today, five innocent Americans who were imprisoned in Iran are finally coming home," Biden said in a statement. South Korea owed Iran, but had not paid, the money for oil purchased before the U.S. imposed sanctions. "For almost eight years I have been dreaming of this day," Namazi, who was imprisoned in 2015, said in a statement following his release.

Two additional Americans in the deal have not yet been publicly identified. His father, Baquer, was also imprisoned in 2016 but was released in order to receive medical treatment in October 2022. Tahbaz is a US, UK and Iranian citizen who was arrested on allegations of espionage while on a trip to Iran. He spent eight months in jail and was released on bail but had a travel ban. In November 2020, he was sentenced to 10 years in jail by a Revolutionary Court for espionage charges.

☆ Opinion | From Tel Aviv to Riyadh

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — “Your final destination is Tel Aviv?”I’ve been a reporter in the Middle East since 1979, and those are six words I’d never heard in the place where I was standing about the place where I was going. I was checking in to fly from Doha, Qatar, to Tel Aviv, via Dubai. My first instinct was to ask her: Could you please keep your voice down? Now the airport codes DIA, DXB and TLV were fused together on my luggage for all to see. A few days later, I hopscotched to three more cities that suddenly seemed closer than ever: early breakfast in Tel Aviv; lunch in Amman, Jordan; and late dinner in the Saudi Arabian capital, Riyadh.
