The environmentalist Morad Tahbaz, who also holds British nationality, was among them.

Under the deal, which followed months of complex negotiations, the United States agreed to unfreeze almost £5 billion in Iranian oil money.

Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi described the release of the detainees as "purely a humanitarian action."
