Michael R. White: Iran confirms arrest of ex-US sailor

Michael R. White: Iran confirms arrest of ex-US sailor

Michael R. White, formerly of the US Navy, is the first American to be held in Iran during Trump's presidency. According to his mother, he has been missing in Iran since July. His intention was to visit his girlfriend when he was arrested in the northeastern city of Mashhad. Supposedly the US was notified at the time of the arrest, but due to the fact that the US and Iran do not maintain diplomacy, all communications go through Switzerland. His arrest was posted on an Iranian blog on Monday.
