Tehran eyes prison swap if Washington offers help on nuclear deal

LONDON, 21 February 2022, (TON): Iran’s top diplomat has said “Iran is prepared to organize a major prison swap with Washington if the US delivers a significant gesture of goodwill, such as by releasing $8 billion of overseas Iranian assets that are unavailable to the regime.”

Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said that the US and Iran had never been so close to reaching a deal as we are, regarding the nuclear deal that was dislodged under former US president Donald Trump’s administration.

European nations have been engaging with Tehran with hopes of restarting the deal since February.

While addressing the Munich Security Conference, Iran’s foreign minister said the country required the US to display some flexibility in providing political, legal and economic guarantees that Washington will honor the nuclear deal.

He said that prisoner swaps were a completely humanitarian issue.

He added “there was a kind of agreement that was formed last year that all the prisoners at once will be exchanged.”
