"Based on an approval of the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) and the general interests of the Islamic Republic, four Iranian prisoners with dual-nationality were freed today within the framework of a prisoner swap deal," the office of Tehran prosecutor said.
Jason Rezaian, Amir Hekmat, Saeed Abedini and a fourth American-Iranian national who were jailed in Iran on various charges in recent years have all been released.
According o the swap deal, the US has also freed 6 Iranian-Americans who were held for sanctions-related charges..
A senior Iranian legislator citing an IRGC report on Rezaian's case said in October that he has been imprisoned for his attempts to help the US Senate to advance its regime change plots in Iran.

Good news but we're they exchanged for Gitmo prisoners?
Whatever happened to the days where we didn't negotiate with terrorists?
11:01. Yeah. We should have just left them there.
yes they were exchanged for Gitmo prisoners. Terrorists who will attack us again. Yeah 12:20 we should not have negotiated for them. We should have blown them into non-existence and went in an taken our citizens back.
So we get 3 and give them 7 in return and agree to stop the prosecution of 14 others. Only under Obama could such a deal be made!
No. They were not Gitmo prisoners. And now we have 5 Americans freed.
they are not inmates. they are hostages/prisoners to get sanctions lifted.
