A U.S. businessman jailed for over two years in Iran on accusations he passed money to an anti-regime terror group was freed on Saturday from the country's notorious Evin prison, U.S. media reported.

"Sometimes I feel relief, sometimes, I feel angry," Reza Taghavi told ABC after his release.

Taghavi was accused in May 2008 of giving $200 to a group called Tondar, or Thunder. He said he did so unwittingly and the Iranian authorities eventually agreed.
