Sweden and Iran Conduct Prisoner Swap

Sweden and Iran conducted a prisoner exchange on Saturday, with Hamid Noury, a former Iranian official convicted of war crimes for his role in mass executions in the 1980s, being released from Swedish custody. In return, Iran freed two Swedish nationals: Johan Floderus, an EU diplomat accused of espionage, and Saeed Azizi, who had been arrested in November 2023. The exchange was mediated by Oman, as confirmed by the country's news agency.
