In New York, Iranian foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Wednesday suggested a swap between Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, who is in jail in Tehran for alleged sedition, and Negar Ghodskani, an Iranian woman held in Australia on a US extradition warrant. “The woman in jail in Australia is facing due process, a proper legal procedure, and she is alleged to have committed a very serious crime,” he told reporters in London. “Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe is innocent — she has done nothing wrong.”
Zaghari-Ratcliffe was only one of numerous dual nationals from Western countries being held in Iran, Hunt said.
