U.S. & Iran Complete Prisoner Swap; Iranian Protesters Mark One Year Since Death of Mahsa Amini
As the Biden administration and Tehran carry out a prisoner swap that also includes the unfreezing of $6 billion in Iranian oil revenue, we look at the state of U.S.-Iran relations with journalist Negar Mortazavi, host of The Iran Podcast. The deal represents a major diplomatic breakthrough between the two countries since the end of the Iran nuclear deal, from which the Trump administration unilaterally withdrew in 2018. The prisoner swap came just after the anniversary of the death of Mahsa Amini in police custody last year, which set off nationwide protests against the Iranian government. "What we saw over the past year after the death in custody of Mahsa Amini was nothing short of a mass movement and also essentially a cultural revolution," says Mortazavi, who notes the protests have led to a loosening of social restrictions despite the government crackdown. "I don't think the government can push it back to where it was before the killing of Mahsa Amini."
