After freeing journalist Cecilia Sala, Iran expects the release of Iranian businessman Mohammad Abedini, for whom the United States had requested extradition. This was reported by the ‘Wall Street Journal’, according to which the agreement between Rome and Tehran also includes the release of the man accused by the United States of having supplied Iran with electronic components used for military drones which provoked, in an attack in Jordan, the death of three American soldiers.
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, adds the New York financial newspaper, was waiting to inform some representatives of the Italian government about the start of the second phase of the agreement between the two countries. Abedini’s release from the Opera prison in Milan could take place in the next few days. At the moment, adds the Wall Street Journal, no order has been issued by Justice Minister Carlo Nordio.
