11:20 a.m.

The elder son of an American-born news anchor for Iran's state television broadcaster says she is being held in the United States, but has not been charged with anything.

Marzieh Hashemi's son, Hussein Hashemi, tells The Associated Press that he's been told his mother is being held as a material witness, but she's in prison and has been assigned an inmate number.

Interviewed by phone Wednesday from Washington, he also says that he and his brother and sister have been subpoenaed to testify to a grand jury, but he doesn't know what about.
