  • A senior White House official on Sunday denied reports from Tehran that an agreement had been reached with Iran for the release of four Americans detained there. "I can tell you, unfortunately, that report is untrue," White House chief of staff Ron Klain said on CBS's "Face the Nation." "There is no agreement to release these four Americans. We're working very hard to get them released. So far there is no agreement to bring these four Americans home." Klain's comments followed reports on Iranian state television, quoting "an informed source," that the US side had agreed to release $7 billion in frozen Iranian funds and free four Iranians accused of bypassing sanctions in exchange for the release of four Americans accused of spying. The state TV also reported that British-Iranian aid worker Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, who has been held in the country since 2016, was being freed after "payment of military debt." But British officials played down the report, with the foreign office saying discussions were "ongoing." Zaghari-Ratcliffe's husband Richard Ratcliffe told AFP that they "haven't been given any private indication that an agreement is close." Klain was asked on CBS whether Iranian officials might have leaked the reports to increase political pressure on the Biden administration for concessions. "No," he replied. "Again, we're working hard to bring these Americans home. When we get that done, we'll obviously be delighted to announce that news." The dueling reports came a day after parties to the Iran nuclear agreement adjourned a third round of negotiations in Vienna aimed at bringing the US back into the accord, and as Russian delegates expressed "cautious and growing optimism" for a solution. The agreement, which curbs Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief, has been on life support since then US president Donald Trump withdrew in 2018. The remaining partners to the 2015 accord have been engaged in negotiations since early April to try to revive it. bbk/st
