Caption: FILE - In this Oct. 23, 2015 file-pool photo, Secretary of State John Kerry, speaks to senior adviser John Kirby before a news conference in Vienna. The State Department says a $400 million cash payment to Iran was contingent on the release of American prisoners. Spokesman Kirby says negotiations over the U.S. returning Iranian money from a decades-old account was conducted separately from the prisoner talks. But he says the U.S. withheld delivery of the cash as leverage until the U.S. citizens had left Iran. (Carlo Allegri/Pool Photo via AP, File)
