A Princeton scholar who has been held in Iran on widely loose accusations of espionage has been finally released in exchange for an Iran scientist. This situation was a large and rare break thru between the two countries. The scientist was prosecuted for his relations in supporting research into chemical weapons being sold to multiple countries.
The trade did not go without proceeding with President Trumps full pressure campaign including more sanctions put on the exportation of oil and gas from Iran.
These sanctions have caused more protest within the country causing up to 200 lives taken by the police forces in the country and has caused more displacement between the government and its citizens.
