Iranian diplomat makes public a prisoner swap offer to the U.S.

LA Times  

Iran’s top diplomat on Wednesday made public an offer to the U.S. government for a prisoner swap that he said he made six months ago. The U.S. State Department made no mention of a prisoner swap in a statement that said: “The Iranian regime can demonstrate its seriousness regarding consular issues, including Iranians who have been indicted or convicted of criminal violations of U.S. sanctions laws, by releasing innocent U.S. persons immediately.” Zarif didn’t specify who Iran might trade, though he mentioned the case of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, a British Iranian woman detained in Iran for nearly three years. I’m ready to do it, and I have authority to do it.” Last month, former U.S. Navy cook Michael R. White from Imperial Beach, Calif., was sentenced to 10 years in prison in Iran, becoming the first American known to be imprisoned there since President Trump took office. Chinese American graduate student Xiyue Wang was sentenced to 10 years in prison for allegedly “infiltrating” the country while doing doctoral research on Iran’s Qajar dynasty.
