Tehran, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 2nd Jun, 2020 ) :Iran's foreign minister said Tuesday that a plane had taken off from arch-foe the United States carrying scientist Sirous Asgari after his apparent release from a US prison.
"Good news, a plane carrying Dr. Sirous Asgari has taken off from America.
Congratulations to his wife and family," Mohammad Javad Zarif wrote in a post on his Instagram account.
Asgari was accused by a US court in 2016 of stealing trade secrets while on an academic visit to Ohio, but the 59-year old scientist from Tehran's Sharif University of Technology was acquitted in November.
