Mr. Johnson’s three-nation trip to the Middle East took him to Oman on Friday,<br />and he was expected to visit the United Arab Emirates next.<br />that This weekend we had our first ripple of freedom,<br />Earlier this year, Mr. Johnson infuriated those working to free Ms. Zaghari-Ratcliffe by saying she had been "simply teaching people journalism" in Iran, something her employer, her relatives<br />and her local parliamentary representative in Britain said was untrue.<br />But both Britain and Iran say a repayment would not be tied to Ms. Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s case, though the United States made a similar payment to Iran in 2016, around the time<br />that four American citizens, including The Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian, were released.
