Iran and the United States implement prison exchange

  On the 4th local time, Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif said in social media that he was very happy that Dr. Majid Taheri and Mr. White would be reunited with their families.

  Professor Asgari has returned home on Wednesday. Zarif said that all prisoners should adopt this approach, without having to choose carefully. All Iranian prisoners detained in the United States should go home and vice versa.

  It is understood that the US Navy veteran Michael White was accused of insulting the supreme leader of Iran and other charges, and was arrested by the Iranian side in July 2018.

  Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Musavi said later on the 4th that after the outbreak of the new coronary pneumonia, the Iranian judiciary decided to temporarily release some prisoners, so White was released and sent to the Swiss embassy in Iraq. White later developed symptoms of infection and received effective treatment, and released it after determining that his new coronavirus test was negative. At the same time, Iranian scientist Majid Tahri, who was arrested for no reason in the United States, was released. (Headquarters reporter Ni Zihui)
