US concerned by Iranian arrests of journalists

None

The top US nuclear negotiator says she is concerned by reports Iran has arrested four journalists, including three Americans.

 

Wendy Sherman says Tehran should release them immediately.

 

Iran confirmed last week it detained the journalists.

 

The Washington Post said its correspondent, Jason Rezaian, and his wife were detained in the Iranian capital. The newspaper said Rezaian, 38, holds both American and Iranian citizenship.
