British soul singer Joss Stone says she was deported from Iran after arriving in the Islamic Republic as part of a worldwide concert tour, even though she didn't plan to perform there. Posting on Instagram, Stone appears in a video wearing a white headscarf saying: "Well, we got to Iran, we got detained and then we got deported.'' She described the authorities that met her on arrival at Iran's Kish Island as professional throughout their interaction. Stone earlier posted images of herself boarding a flight to Iran's Kish Island in the Persian Gulf, which is an economic free zone that allows travel by all nationalities. Robert Levinson, a former FBI agent on an unauthorised mission for the CIA, disappeared on Kish Island in March 2007.
