五名美国公民被认为被不公正地拘留都被软禁在伊朗美国官员周四说，此前曾被关押在那里。
据其中一名被拘留者的律师称，这五人中有四人于周四从伊朗臭名昭著的Evin监狱获释。第五名已经入狱，但截至周四已经被软禁。
白宫和国务院周四在单独的声明中证实，这些公民已经出狱，并被软禁在家。
美国广播公司(ABC News)获悉，这一进展是伊朗和美国在经过几个月的安静谈判后达成的协议的一部分，该协议最终将使所有五名国民获释并被允许离开该国。
作为交换，德黑兰将获得韩国一个受限账户中价值约60亿美元的伊朗资产。
以下是关于五名美国公民的已知信息:西亚马克·纳马齐、艾玛德·沙尔基和莫拉德·塔赫巴兹，以及另外两人，一男一女，他们要求不公开他们的身份。
纳马齐、塔赫巴兹和沙尔基都被伊朗指控从事间谍活动，美国称这些指控毫无根据。
51岁的纳马齐是一名石油高管，他于2015年前往伊朗出差时首次被拘留。他随后被判处10年监禁。
Siamak Namazi的父亲Baquer Namazi是联合国儿童基金会的前官员，他在2016年前往伊朗试图看望儿子时也被伊朗监禁。巴克尔·纳马齐后来被释放，但被禁止离开伊朗，直到10月份，这位85岁的老人被允许离开伊朗寻求治疗。
当时，小纳马齐获准休假去看他的父亲，但一个多星期后，他又被迫回到艾文监狱。Siamak Namazi在2023年初举行了为期七天的绝食抗议，以纪念他被拘留七周年，旨在敦促拜登政府采取更多措施释放被关押在伊朗的美国人。
莫拉德·塔巴兹
67岁的塔赫巴兹是一名伊朗裔美国环保主义者，同时拥有英国国籍;他于2018年被捕，并被判处10年有期徒刑。
今年3月，当德黑兰批准释放另外两名外国公民时，他获得了为期两天的休假，但最终被迫返回Evin。
Morad Tahbaz在伊朗被拘留。2022年4月13日，在伦敦外交、联邦和发展办公室(FCDO)外的抗议活动中，Roxanne Tahbaz拿着她被监禁在伊朗的父亲Morad Tahbaz的照片。

艾玛德·沙吉
58岁的Shargi在2018年与妻子在伊朗旅行时被拘留，没有任何解释。
伊朗当局最初没收了他的美国护照，禁止他离开该国，然后在2020年再次逮捕他，并以间谍罪判处他10年徒刑。
第四个美国公民
他们的身份以及伊朗对他们的指控仍不得而知。此人去年被捕，被关押在Evin。
第五个美国公民
第五名被拘留者为女性，其身份也不明。协议达成时，她已经被软禁，但之前曾在监狱呆过。
Who are the detained American citizens released from prison in Iran?
Five American citizens considered to be unjustly detainedhave all been moved into house arrest in Iranafter previously being imprisoned there, U.S. officials said Thursday.
Four of the five were released from Iran's notorious Evin prison on Thursday, according to a lawyer for one of the detainees. The fifth had been in prison but was already under house arrest as of Thursday.
The White House and State Department confirmed Thursday in separate statements that the citizens were out of prison and moved to house arrest.
The development is part of an agreement reached by Iran and the U.S., after months of quiet negotiations, that would ultimately see all five nationals released from custody and allowed to leave the country, ABC News has learned.
In exchange, Tehran would receive roughly $6 billion worth of Iranian assets held in a restricted account in South Korea.
Here's what is known about the five American citizens: Siamak Namazi, Emad Shargi and Morad Tahbaz as well as two others, a man and a woman, who asked that their identity not be made public.
Namazi, Tahbaz, and Shargi were all accused of espionage by Iran -- charges that the U.S. calls baseless.
Namazi, 51, is an oil executive who was first detained in 2015 when he traveled to Iran on business. He was subsequently sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Siamak Namazi's father, Baquer Namazi -- a former UNICEF official -- was also imprisoned by Iran in 2016 when he traveled to the country to attempt to see his son. Baquer Namazi was later released from custody but barred from leaving the country until October, when the then-85-year-old was allowed to leave Iran to seek medical treatment.
The younger Namazi was granted a furlough to see his father at this time but then forced to return to Evin prison a little more than a week later. Siamak Namazi marked the seventh anniversary of his detention in early 2023 with a seven-day hunger strike intended to urge the Biden administration to do more to free Americans imprisoned in Iran.
Morad Tahbaz
Tahbaz, 67, is an Iranian American conservationist who also holds British citizenship; he was arrested in 2018 and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
He was granted a two-day furlough in March, when Tehran approved the release of two other foreign nationals, but ultimately was forced to return to Evin.
Emad Shargi
Shargi, 58, was traveling in Iran with his wife in 2018 when he was detained without explanation.
Iranian authorities initially confiscated his American passport, inhibiting him from leaving the country, before re-arresting him in 2020 and handing down a 10-year sentence for espionage.
A fourth American national
Their identity and Iran's allegations against them are still unknown. This person was arrested last year and was detained in Evin.
A fifth American national
The identity of the fifth detainee, a female, is also unknown. She was already under house arrest when the agreement was reached but had previously spent time in prison.
