Iran ready for prisoner swap with US: Rouhani

Tehran will work to free three Americans from its prisons if the United States releases jailed Iranians, President Hassan Rouhani said today.

"If the Americans take the appropriate steps and set them free, certainly the right environment will be open and the right circumstances will be created for us to do everything within our power and our purview to bring about the swiftest freedom for the Americans held in Iran as well," Rouhani told CNN.
