  • Blinken: Release of Americans From Iranian Prison a ‘Positive Step’
  • August 11, 2023
  • Secretary of State Antony Blinken says the release of Americans wrongfully detained in Iran from Evin Prison to house arrest is a positive first step, but work remains to be done for them to be returned to the United States safely.

VOA's Senior Diplomatic Correspondent Cindy Saine reports.
