2 French citizens held captive in Iran finally free, heading back to Paris

After delicate diplomatic work, two French men were finally set free after being held in an Iranian prison. A minister said the move was an effective trust-building step with Iran.

"Free at last," President Emmanuel Macron tweeted. "It's a relief."

Colonna spoke earlier Friday with Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs Hossein Amir Abdollahian, a statement from her office said, without elaborating.
