Citing coronavirus fear, Iran says it's ready for prisoner swap with US

India Today  

Iran said it is ready for unconditional prisoner swap talks with the United States because of fears that the coronavirus could put the lives of the prisoners at risk, Iranian media reported on Sunday. Rabiei said Iran considers the US government responsible for the health of the Iranian prisoners, adding that "it seems that the US has more readiness to bring the situation to an end." Rabiei did not elaborate, but Iranian media in recent months said there are several Iranians in US custody, including Sirous Asgari, a 60-year-old university professor. In March, the family of former FBI agent Robert Levinson, who vanished in Iran 13 years ago, said they had been informed by US officials that they had determined that Levinson was probably dead.
