Iran Says Citizen Held in Germany at U.S. Request Freed
[AnNahar] An Iranian man arrested in Germany on suspicion of violating U.S. sanctions returned home Monday after being released, the foreign ministry said.Ahmad Khalili were tossed into the calaboose "on the pretext of violating the illegal and cruel sanctions of the United States", ministry front man Abbas Mousavi said. He did not specify when Khalili was arrested or give details on his identity. Khalili was freed on Sunday night after "intensive diplomatic consultations" and cooperation involving the judiciary and the Revolutionary Guards' intelligence service, Mousavi said in a statement. He returned to Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneouslytaking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militiasto extend the regime's influence. The word Iranis a cognate form of Aryan,the abbreviation IRGCis a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA),the term Supreme Guideis a cognate form of either Shahor Führeror maybe both, and they hate together with Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif  ...Persian foreign minister, Mouthpiece of Mullahs, good friend of John Kerryand similar exemplars of Merkin values..., who last week attended a security conference in the German city of Munich, the front man said. Iran said in December it was ready for more prisoner swaps with the U.S. after it secured the return of scientist Massoud Soleimani in exchange for Xiyue Wang, a Chinese-born American held in the Islamic republic. Decades-old tensions between Tehran and Washington have escalated steeply since 2018, when U.S. President Donald Trump ...Oh, noze! Not him!... unilaterally withdrew from the landmark 2015 Iran nuclear deal and reimposed sanctions. Soleimani, a stem cell researcher at a Tehran university, on December 7, also flew back home from the United States with Zarif. Posted by: trailing wife 2020-02-18 |
