Prisoner Exchange Process With US Will Take Two Months- Iran

Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Nasser Kanaani says the process of releasing U.S. prisoners held in Iran will take up to two months, following a deal with Washington.

Kanaani disclosed this during a press conference on Monday.

“A specific time frame has been announced by relevant Authorities, and it will take a maximum of two months for this process to take place,” Kanaani explained.

Earlier this month, Tehran and Washington reached an agreement whereby five U.S. citizens held in Iran would be freed while $6bn of Iranian assets frozen in South Korea would be released.
