Iran insisted on Sunday that a prisoner swap deal has been agreed with the United States, the Iranian foreign ministry spokesman said, a day after Washington denied such an agreement had been reached.
"'Outrageous'=the US denying simple fact that there IS an agreed deal on the matter of the detainees. Even on how to announce it," Saeed Khatibzadeh said in a tweet.
The talks are aimed at reviving a 2015 deal between Iran and six major powers that curbed Tehran's nuclear programme in exchange for a lifting of sanctions on Iran. Washington abandoned the deal in 2018 and reimposed sanctions on Iran. Rights activists accuse the country of trying to use the detentions to win concessions from other countries, though Tehran dismisses the charge.
