Iran says British-Australian academic freed for 3 Iranians
Those Western hostages are like money in the bank for Iran and others elsewhere in the Ummah.
[IsraelTimes] Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
has freed Kylie Moore-Gilbert, a British-Australian academic who has been detained in Iran for more than two years, in exchange for three Iranians held abroad, state TV reports.

The report offers no further details beyond saying that the three Iranians released in the swap were tossed into the calaboose for trying to bypass sanctions.

Moore-Gilbert was a Melbourne University lecturer on Middle Eastern studies when she was sent to Tehran’s Evin Prison in September 2018 and sentenced to 10 years. She is one of several Westerners held in Iran on internationally criticized espionage charges that their families and rights groups say are unfounded.

It is not immediately clear when Moore-Gilbert will arrive back in Australia. State TV airs video showing her with a gray hijab sitting at what appears to be a greeting room at one of Tehran’s airports. She wears a blue face mask under her chin. The footage shows three men with Iranian flags over their shoulders — those freed in exchange for her being released. State TV earlier described them as "economic activists," without elaborating.
