A handful of United States citizens imprisoned in Iran have been moved to house arrest, in what US news outlets are reporting is the first step in a potential prisoner swap deal between Washington and Tehran.
Citing people familiar with the agreement, the New York Times reported on Thursday that five dual US-Iranian citizens had been released to house arrest.
The newspaper named three of the prisoners as Siamak Namazi, Emad Sharghi and Morad Tahbaz, and said the families of the other two are withholding their identities.
Four of them were released on Thursday from Iran’s infamous Evin prison to a hotel in the capital, a lawyer for Namazi, Jared Genser, told the Times. The fifth prisoner was released earlier, the newspaper said.
