Iranian officials have said former member of Iran's nuclear negotiations team Hossein Mousavian has been released on bail.

The former nuclear negotiator was arrested over alleged links with foreigners and exchanging information with them.

Mousavian part of a moderate negotiating team that served until 2005, was arrested at his home in Tehran last Monday.

He played a central role in talks that saw Iran strike a deal with Europe under which it suspended its uranium enrichment activities.
