ROME (Reuters) -Iranian businessman Mohammad Abedini, who was detained in Italy on a U.S. warrant, will return to Iran in the coming hours, the Iranian news agency Mizan said on Sunday, after Italy's justice minister filed to revoke his arrest.

Abedini was arrested in Milan last month for allegedly supplying drone parts that Washington says were used in a 2024 attack that killed three U.S. service members in Jordan.
