Release of Cécile Kohler and Jacques Paris: Macron thanks Oman, deal remains secret

Emmanuel Macron announced the repatriation of Cécile Kohler and Jacques Paris, French teachers detained in Iran since May 2022. The president thanked Oman for its mediating role, without specifying the terms of the agreement. The two French nationals had been sentenced to prison for espionage and spent 1,277 days in detention. Their release raised questions about possible concessions, although the French government denied any link to the nuclear issue.
