Iran Detains President's Brother, Sentences American

TEHRAN, Iran – Iran has imprisoned a Chinese-American man for 10 years after accusing him of “infiltrating” the country and detained President Hassan Rouhani’s brother over allegations of financial misconduct, authorities said Sunday. News of the detentions comes less than two months after relative moderate Rouhani beat a hard-line opponent to win reelection by running in large part on his record of pursuing greater engagement with the West.
