U.S. and Iran Exchange Prisoners in Deal
(Wall Street Journal) Jessica Donati - Iran released U.S. Navy veteran Michael White after nearly two years in custody on Thursday as part of a prisoner deal negotiated with Iran, a U.S. official said. As part of the deal, the U.S. has freed dual U.S.-Iranian citizen Matteo Taerri, a medical doctor imprisoned on charges of evading sanctions. Tehran has a history of arresting people with foreign ties and using them as bargaining chips. The State Department is seeking the release of at least three other U.S. citizens detained in Iran.
