The spokesperson of the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Nasser Kanaani has commented on reporters' questions regarding comments made by the US secretary of state and also the US special representative on Iran affairs about the issue of prisoners.

He stated, "The Islamic Republic of Iran, independent of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), has repeatedly announced its readiness to the American side through various channels to address the issue of prisoners."

Announcing Iran's readiness for the immediate implementation of the existing agreement, the spokesperson of the Iranian diplomatic apparatus said, "By implementing this agreement, we are ready to get the innocent Iranians imprisoned in the United States, those who have become victims of injustice by the judicial system of that country on false charges of violating the cruel and illegal US sanctions, released and make their quick freedom and return to the open arms of their families possible."


Kanaani added, "It is surprising that the American side, instead of acting and removing the obstacles in this field, is only performing propaganda shows against the Islamic Republic of Iran."
