Iran ready for prisoner swaps with U.S.

Tehran is open to talking about prisoner swaps with Washington, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said at a news conference in New York.

He noted that such talks have taken place successfully with previous administrations and that Iran had taken a first step by releasing a Lebanese businessman and U.S. legal resident in June. But he accused the U.S. of failing to take reciprocal steps, NBC news reported.

Iran was open to discussing the issue, "but the ball stands in America's court," Rouhani stressed.
