Shahram Amiri, the Iranian academic who was abducted by US and Saudi forces last year, has held an exclusive interview with Press TV, after his "escape" from US forces.
In the interview, he dismissed US claims that he has been in the US on his own desire.
"My abduction is a detailed story. I have thoroughly explained key factors about how I was abducted in the video broadcast on Iran television," Amiri said.
"In fact, in the video I managed to broadcast after escaping from hands of US intelligence, with the help of my friends, I stressed that the video broadcast on Iranian TV is completely accurate and that is not falsified. I think I will be unable to get into details during this limited period of time and I will postpone it to when I am hopefully in my dear country Iran, so I can speak to the media and my own people with ease of mind and tell them about my ordeal over the past 14 months, incidents that have been a mystery to many," he added.
"In Iran, I will thoroughly clarify the allegations made by foreign media and the US government which, in fact, have targeted my reputation."
On Tuesday, US declared that arrangements are underway for the return of Iranian academic Shahram Amiri to Iran, claiming that he has been in the US on his own desire.

I am
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Wed Jul 14, 2010 05:52 AM PDTSick of this BS and propaganda.
Is the IRI holding his family as hostages? Was he really kidnapped? What the heck is going on.
I am worried he goes back to IRI and have a little accident. Then we never know what happened. For his own safety he is better off in the USA. He is alive and not going to be tortured. USA should simply deny him exit based on pending investigation. Meanwhile he can have chelo kabab delivered to the Iranian interest section everyday until we get to the bottom of this.
I really don't want him going back to save his family. Then having a convenient fatal accident.
Nasrallah Military Forum finally gets something right
by AMIR1973 on Wed Jul 14, 2010 05:18 AM PDTYou are right, the IRI has been kidnapping people, torturing them, and supporting terrorists from the first day it came to power. As far as Press TV, it is a reliable media outlet :-)
It's funny how they "kidnapped" this important scientist, but they didn't keep a close eye on him, and he just escaped and was dropped off at the IRI's Interest Section. Okay :-)
