President Biden on Monday hailed the return of five American detainees who Tehran released in exchange for Iranian prisoners and billions of dollars that were being held in South Korea.
At the same time, he warned Americans not to travel to Iran and said he would demand a “full account” of what happened to Bob Levinson, an American last seen in Iran.
Some of the former prisoners had been held for years on charges, including espionage, that U.S. officials described as bogus. “As we welcome home our fellow citizens, I once more remind all Americans of the serious risks of traveling to Iran. American passport holders should not travel there,” Mr. Biden said.
