Secretary of State John F. Kerry said he was “deeply disappointed and concerned” that charges have been brought against The Washington Post’s bureau chief in Tehran more than four months after he was detained.

Jason Rezaian, an Iranian American who holds dual citizenship, was brought before a judge Saturday in Tehran to hear charges officially leveled against him and was denied his request for bail, according to a source familiar with the case. The specific charges are unknown.
