Rather than rewrite yesterday’s post (is that even allowed?) we thought we’d say that news of Iason’s release, which has been widely reported, is still at the “Iranian foreign ministry officials confirmed” level of certainty. As of this hour, we haven’t seen proof that Iason is out of custody. We’ll either confirm the news when we hear it or sneak back and delete this post (surely that is allowed – you may not be able to rewrite history, but you can always erase it!). Still, feeling hopeful.
