Two French nationals, Cecile Kohler and Jacques Paris, have returned home after being detained in Iran for over three years. Their release comes amid an apparent thaw in relations between Paris and Tehran, following negotiations led by Oman.
Cecile Kohler and Jacques Paris were detained in Iran in 2022 on spying charges. They were released from Evin prison in November and had been staying at the French embassy. The pair's release is part of an understanding between Tehran and Paris. France will release an Iranian student and withdraw a complaint against Iran in the International Court of Justice. The release comes as France criticizes the US and Israel's actions against Iran. French President Emmanuel Macron announced their return to France. The couple's release is seen as a relief for their families and a sign of improving relations between France and Iran.
