Iran releases French-German cyclist Lennart Monterlos Updated 12 mins ago France says Iran has released a teenage French-German cyclist who disappeared in June while riding across the country. Lennart Monterlos, 19, was taken into custody in Iran in mid-June. French authorities said Monterlos left Iran on Wednesday afternoon and was on his way back to France.

France has accused Iran of engaging in hostage diplomacy and called for their immediate release.
