Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman says an Iranian citizen detained in Germany on the pretext of violating Washington's cruel sanctions has been released following intensive diplomatic efforts.

In a statement on Monday, Seyyed Abbas Mousavi said the Iranian citizen, Ahmad Khalili, had been detained in Germany on the pretext of breaching the illegal and cruel sanctions of the US and upon the request of the regime’s prosecutor, and was on verge of extradition.
