Three U.S. citizens have been detained in Iran: Jason Rezaian, a correspondent of the Washington Post, and two photographers. The photographers were detained on Tuesday, according to Douglas Jehl, the editor of the foreign political office of the Washington Post.
Rezaian has U.S. and Iranian citizenship. He has been working as a reporter in Iran since 2012. Yeganeh Salehi, his wife and a member of the National paper, is an Iranian citizen applying for U.S. citizenship.
The reason for their detention is unknown. Rezaian’s family refused to comment on the situation. Iranian diplomats sent an email informing that details of the incident were being investigated.
