Iran releases American student in prisoner swap, foreign minister says

An American graduate student, who had been held for three years in Iran on suspicion of being a spy, has been freed and is headed to an American military base in Europe.

Chinese-born Xiyue Wang, a Princeton University PhD student, was conducting research in Tehran when he was arrested there on espionage charges in August 2016. Wang was sent to Iran's notorious Evin Prison and sentenced to 10 years. Iran's Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said Saturday that Wang's release comes as a prisoner swap between the two countries.

Good news that both men have been released to return to their home countries.

So, why would an American grad student be in Iran to start with? I thought it was illegal for Americans to go into Iran. No one vacations in Iran. Do they?

Donald Trump get no credit for this from cnn

No thanks to BarackObama, JoeBiden or HillaryClinton ...
