An American jailed for months in Lebanon was released from custody on March 19, while a Navy veteran was granted medical furlough from an Iran prison, U.S. officials said.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced that Michael White, imprisoned more than a year ago for insulting Iran’s supreme leader, was released to the Swiss Embassy as part of a furlough that will require him to remain in Iran. The U.S. will work for his full release, Pompeo said.
