Family members of Shahab Dalili, a US permanent resident currently serving a 10-year sentence in Iran on an espionage-related charge, are urging the Biden administration to include him in any Prisoner Deal struck with Tehran. While Dalili's case is similar to those of other dual nationals jailed in Iran, he has not been classified as "wrongfully detained" by the US State Department, a designation that would elevate the priority of his case. The family has sought the formal determination but has not received an explanation from the State Department on why Dalili isn't deemed "wrongfully detained."
