  Five Americans who had been imprisoned in Iran were allowed to leave the country on Monday, according to White House officials, after two years of high-stakes negotiations in which the United States agreed to unfreeze $6 billion in Iranian oil revenue and dismiss federal charges against five Iranians accused of violating U.S. sanctions.
  
  The five Americans, some of whom had been held for years in Evin Prison, one of the most notorious detention centers in Iran, were expected to fly to Doha, the capital of Qatar, for a Cold War-style exchange with two of the five Iranian nationals. Three others declined to return to Iran, according to U.S. officials.

  Nigel is on track to becoming the next hurricane of the 2023 Atlantic season, according to the National Hurricane Center.
  
  In its advisory, the NHC said Tropical Storm Nigel strengthened again with maximum sustained winds of 60 mph, a jump from earlier in the morning. The center of Tropical Storm Nigel was said to be about 990 miles northeast of the Lesser Antilles as it moved north-northwest at 13 mph.
  
  “Nigel is expected to become a major hurricane by the middle of the week, but will move toward the north and be a fish storm,” Eric Stone, a meteorologist with Nexstar’s WFLA, said. A “fish storm” refers to a storm that doesn’t threaten land, but could cause problems for fishermen or along shipping routes.

  U.S....

  U.S. energy firms this week added the most oil and natural gas rigs in a week since November, rising for a second week in a row, energy services firm Baker Hughes said in its closely followed report on Friday.

  
  

  The total oil and gas rig count, an early indicator of future output, rose nine to 641 in the week to Sept. 15, its highest since mid-August.  Despite this week’s rig increase, Baker Hughes said the total count was still down 122, or 16%, below this time last year.

  
  

  U.S. oil rigs rose by two, the most in a week since April, to 515, while gas rigs gained eight to 121.
