Iran Official Claims U.S. Republicans Asked to Delay Prisoner Release Until After Presidential Election
Andy Cush · 02/11/16 11:45AMAli Shamkhani, chief of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, claimed today that U.S. Republican officials reached out to Tehran asking that the recent release of four American prisoners be delayed until after the upcoming presidential election. There are very good reasons to be skeptical of Shamkhani’s claim. If it is true, it is completely insane.
