US official says Navy veteran freed by Iran
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS officials say US Navy veteran Michael White has been freed by Iran and departed the country on a Swiss government aircraft.
White was detained in July 2018 while visiting a girlfriend in Iran. He was convicted of insulting Iran’s supreme leader and posting private information online.
He was released from prison in March on a medical furlough that required him to remain in the country in the care of the Swiss Embassy in Tehran, which represents America’s interests in Iran.
