With respect to Iran, the documents show that it is an antagonistic relationship, largely based on indirect and unpleasant negotiations over the release of detained jihadis and their families, including members of Bin Ladin’s family.

This, of course, is what policy analyst who give a shit have been saying for more than a decade...Neo-Cons, not so much.
