Obama meets with Jason Rezaian, the journalist freed from Iran

US President Barack Obama met Monday with Jason Rezaian, The Washington Post reporter freed from captivity in Iran two months ago, according to The Washington Times.

Rezaian, who had been held on espionage charges since July 2014, met briefly with Obama during the president's visit to the State Department. During his address to diplomats, the president cited "detained Americans coming home" as one of his administration's achievements.

Jason Rezaian was released along with three other US prisoners as Iran's nuclear deal was being implemented, an agreement that included the lifting of economic sanctions.
