Iran moves toward freeing 5 American citizens who had been imprisoned, in rare dealAfter months of quiet negotiations, Iran and the U.S. have reached an agreement that would see five American citizens considered to be unjustly detained released from custody and allowed to leave the country, ABC News has learned. A lawyer representing one of the detainees tells ABC News that four of the five were released from Iran's notorious Evin prison on Thursday and are currently under house arrest in the country. The move sets the stage for what a person familiar with the negotiations described as 'a process' that -- if all goes well -- could ultimately see the four freed along with a fifth U.S. national who was already under house arrest and, according to the White House, had previously been held in prison.
