U.S. to allow Iranian-American doctor to visit Iran as part of a prisoner deal

The United States will allow Majid Taheri, an Iranian-American physician, to travel to Iran for a visit as part of an agreement between Iran and the United States that included American citizen Michael White's release, Taheri's lawyer told Reuters on Thursday.

Taheri will visit family in Iran and seek medical treatment before returning to the United States, his lawyer said.
