Michael White, a veteran of the US Navy who was arrested in Iran in 2018, has been released by Tehran and has reportedly left the country on a Swiss government aircraft.
White’s mother, Joanne White, said in a statement on Thursday that her son was on his way home and expressed gratitude to the US government and a team at the State Department, as well as Swiss diplomats, for helping him.
“We understand that there is great interest in Michael’s story. In time Michael will tell it himself, his way,” she added, asking people respect the family’s privacy in the meantime.
