Two French nationals arrived in Paris on Wednesday after spending more than three years in an Iranian prison on espionage charges, a source familiar with the case said.

Cecile Kohler, 41, and Jacques Paris, 72, arrived on a commercial flight, landing at the Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris shortly before 9:00am (0700 GMT).

The pair had been under house arrest at the French embassy in Tehran ever since being freed in November, with their fate even more uncertain after US-Israeli strikes on Iran started on February 28.
