U.S. hikers are released from Iranian prison after $1 million bail was paid and 2 years were served

Nothing in the world is better than your freedom.

TEHRAN — Two US hikers, jailed in Iran for spying, were released on bail Wednesday into the custody of the Omani envoy in Tehran.

An Omani plane was en route to Tehran to retrieve the hikers, FOX News Channel reported, citing a State Department source.

Oman is an ally of the US and has friendly ties with Tehran. The lawyer for the two Americans said Oman paid the bail, set at around $1 million. Oman was also involved in the release of a third hiker, Sarah Shourd, 32, who was released in September last year.

The lawyer, Masoud Shafii, told FOX News Channel he was en route to the prison, and was unable to confirm if the two men were already released. He earlier said the men would be taken to the Swiss embassy, which handles US interests in Iran.

Congratulations gentlemen, we sure your families will be glad to have you home.
