Iran has released a 19-year-old Franco-German national days after throwing out spying charges against him, France's foreign minister told AFP on Wednesday.
Lennart Monterlos is the latest French national to be released from Iranian detention this year, even as others remain in custody.
"Lennart Monterlos is free," said Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot, with sources close to the case saying the young man would travel to France on Thursday.
