Washington denies deal with Tehran, accuses it for impasse in nuclear talks
Iran insisted on Sunday that a prisoner swap deal has been agreed with the U.S., the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman said, a day after Washington denied such an agreement had been reached. “’Outrageous’ = the U.S. denying simple fact that there IS an agreed deal on the matter of the detainees. Even on how to announce it,” Saeed Khatibzadeh said in a tweet. “Humanitarian swap was agreed with U.S. & U.K. in Vienna-separate from JCPOA (the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) — on release of 10 prisoners on all sides. Iran is ready to proceed TODAY.” The U.S. on Saturday accused Tehran of an “outrageous” effort to deflect blame for the impasse in the nuclear talks and denied that any deal had been reached on a prisoner swap.
