☆ Daughter of U.S. citizen jailed by Iran says she has lost confidence in US efforts

MADRID, April 22 (Reuters) - The daughter of an environmentalist imprisoned by Iran said on Saturday she had lost confidence in U.S. President Joe Biden's efforts to free her father. Morad Tahbaz, an Iranian-American who also holds British citizenship, has served five years of a 10-year sentence after being convicted of spying. In July his lawyer was quoted as saying he had been granted bail, but his daughter said he was now back in jail. The United States has urged Iran to release Tahbaz and two other citizens, Emad Shargi and Siamak Namazi, who are all imprisoned on espionage charges that Washington says are baseless. Namazi, an oil executive, was jailed for 10 years in 2016 on charges of spying and cooperating with the U.S. government.

DUBAI, Jan 14 (Reuters) - British-Iranian relations, which have been strained for decades, were back in the spotlight after Iranian authorities executed British-Iranian national Alireza Akbari for spying, charges he had denied. 1988 - Britain restores full diplomatic relations with Iran. 1994 - Britain accuses Iran of contacts with the outlawed Irish Republican Army, a charge Iran denies but relations worsen. 1999 - Iran says relations between Tehran and Britain have been upgraded to ambassadorial level. The same year, Iran accuses Britain of being behind bombings that killed six people in Iran.

Duminică, procurorii iranieni l-au acuzat de spionaj, faptă pedepsită cu moartea dacă este găsit vinovat. Acuzațiile la adresa turistului francez vin într-o perioadă de tensiuni între Iran și țările europene și SUA, din cauza instalațiilor nucleare ale statului din Orientul Mijlociu. Procurorii iranieni l-au acuzat pe Benjamin Briere și de "propagandă împotriva autorităților", faptă care este pedepsită cu până la un an de închisoare. Apărătorii drepturilor omului au acuzat în trecut Iran că rețin cetățeni străini sau cu dublă naționalitate, pentru a-i folosi ca avantaj la negocieri.

Teheranul şi Washingtonul au căzut de acord în ceea ce priveşte un schimb de prizonieri, concomitent cu deblocarea fondurilor iraniene din SUA, conform postului iranian de televiziune. Iranul susţine că circa 20 de miliarde de dolari din veniturile sale din ţiţei au fost îngheţate în ţări precum Coreea de Sud, Irak şi China, după sancţiunile impuse de SUA în 2018, când fostul preşedinte american Donald Trump a retras SUA din acordul nuclear internaţional cu Iranul. Anul trecut, într-un gest neaşteptat, Iranul a eliberat un militar american, deţinut de doi ani. De asemenea, la sfârşitul lui 2019, SUA şi Iranul au procedat la un schimb de deţinuţi între iranianul Massoud Soleimani şi americanul Xiyue Wang, într-un rar gest de cooperare între cele două state. Schimbul a fost făcut în Elveţia.
