Washington dismissed as false a claim by Tehran’s foreign minister that the US and Iran had made a deal to exchange prisoners. Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian told state TV earlier that a deal had recently been brokered and a prisoner exchange would happen within a “short period”. “On our part, everything is ready, while the US is currently working on the final technical co-ordination”, Mr. Amirabdollahian said.
