Iran Releases Austrian Citizen Christian Weber After Imprisonment

Weber's detention was previously undisclosed; he was handed over to the Austrian embassy in Tehran based on 'Islamic mercies.'

Weber's imprisonment had not been publicly disclosed until his release.
The Austrian embassy in Tehran is facilitating Weber's return to Austria.
Weber was initially arrested in August 2022, with allegations of espionage later overturned.
