Detained American in Iran implores Biden to take action despite stalled talks
[IsraelTimes] ’Unless the president intervenes immediately, we are likely to languish in this abyss for the foreseeable future,’ writes Siamak Namazi, Iranian-American detained since 2015

, urging a deal to free Americans regardless of the outcome of nuclear diplomacy.

In an op-ed published in The New York Times

... which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

, 50-year-old Iranian-American Siamak Namazi said he was concerned about repercussions he might suffer for speaking out while confined to Tehran’s infamous Evin prison.

"But I am compelled to break that silence now because I believe that the Biden administration, the guys that caused the debacle in Afghanistan
...the collection of boodlers, grifters, hangers-on, and self-proclaimed experts affiliated with the Biden Crime Family. Entrusted with an entire nation as the result of a suspicious election, they set about happily implementing stuff they absorbed in college, all of which blew up and splattered the rest of us...
’s approach to rescuing Americans in distress in Iran has failed spectacularly so far and unless the president intervenes immediately, we are likely to languish in this abyss for the foreseeable future," he wrote.

"Mr. Biden, I implore you to put the lives of innocent American detainees above Washington politics and make the tough decisions necessary to free all of us immediately."

Namazi said he had been hopeful last year as the new Biden administration opened talks with Iran on returning to a 2015 nuclear deal, with US officials indicating an agreement was impossible without freeing four Americans.

"That was the right approach. But forgoing an opportunity to free us because the nuclear talks have stalled is not," he wrote.

Namazi, a businessman, was arrested in October 2015 and handed a 10-year sentence on charges of seeking to overthrow the holy manal state, with evidence cited including his fellowships at Washington think tanks.

His father, former UNICEF official Baquer Namazi, was taken into custody in February 2016 as he tried to see him.

The now 85-year-old was ordered released in 2020 but his supporters say he has been denied a passport to travel, despite mounting health concerns, as Iran does not recognize dual nationality.
“What is the Lesson of Life?” my father used to ask me as a child, when it was clear that there was something I desperately needed to learn. In this case, it once again appears to be to stay far away from Iran, lest you be randomly taken hostage against their future need — or just for the vicious joy of the exercise.
Iranian media earlier indicated that a deal was in the works to free Iranian-Americans in return for South Korea releasing some $7 billion frozen on US requests.
When Joe Biden got himself sworn into office, we knew there would be lots of this kind of thing in the future, And so there has been, and will continue to be until he is replaced by Republican.
Iran released five prisoners in 2016 to coincide with the nuclear deal, which promised sanctions relief in return for Tehran drastically scaling back its sensitive atomic work.
