Iran’s top diplomat claims a prisoner swap is near with the U.S., though he has offered no evidence to support his assertion.
However, in an interview Sunday with Iranian state television, Amirabdollahian claimed that Iran had “reached an agreement in recent days regarding the exchange of prisoners between Iran and the United States.”
“We are working relentlessly to secure the release of the three wrongfully detained Americans in Iran,” Price said."We will not stop until they are reunited with their loved ones.” Iran long has taken prisoners with Western passports or ties to use in negotiations with foreign nations.
