News brief
Iran released two French nationals from prison.
C茅cile Kohler and Jacques Paris were freed after more than three years in a Tehran prison, President Emmanuel Macron announced. Their release appears linked to the conditional freeing in France of Iranian student Mahdieh Esfandiari, detained earlier this year over anti-Israel social media posts deemed to promote terrorism. The pair, held since 2022 on espionage charges rejected by Paris, were freed on bail, according to Iranian authorities.
