An unmarked cargo plane loaded with $400 million in foreign currency was sent to Iran as four Americans detained in Tehran were released but the U.S. denies the delivery was a ransom payment.

In the wake of a prisoner swap between the US and Iran on Sunday, that took place the same day America gave Tehran $1.7 billion in taxpayer funds, concerns are high that the transfer was a ransom payment, reports the Wall Street Journal late Thursday.
