French Citizen Olivier Grondeau Released After Two Years in Iranian Detention

President Macron confirms Grondeau's return to France, highlighting ongoing efforts to free two other detained French nationals.

Olivier Grondeau, detained in Iran since October 2022 on espionage charges, has been released and returned to France.
The French government had denounced his five-year sentence as arbitrary and part of Iran's 'hostage diplomacy.'
Negotiations between France and Iran for Grondeau's release were described as prolonged and challenging.
Grondeau, now free, is in poor psychological health and will undergo medical evaluations.
Two other French citizens, Cécile Kohler and Jacques Paris, remain imprisoned in Iran, with French authorities continuing efforts to secure their release.
