Hekmati to get Physical Exam

Iranian officials have reportedly agreed to examine Amir Hekmati of Flint because of recurring respiratory problems.

Hekmati has been imprisoned in Iran for more than four years.

NBC-25 reports officials agreed to test Hekmati, following months of requests to do so.

Hekmati’s symptoms are similar to tuberculosis.

The former Marine was imprisoned after officials there said he was a spy.

His family says he was just visiting relatives.
