It took long enough, but the Iranians are finally releasing some of the innumerable hostages they have been holding for years.
After the Islamic Republic begrudgingly released 10 American sailors it took prison earlier this week, the country has also announced it was letting four US citizens in it’s custody go. All of the hostages involved had family ties to Iran and were kidnapped while visiting the country.
Among the four hostages released by the Iranians are Washington Post columnist Jason Rezaian, who was captured and imprisoned for 18 months before his release this Saturday. Fellow hostage Saeed Abedini is a pastor and was arrested by the Iranian government for preaching Christianity in the Muslim nation.
An additional, fifth prisoner was set free, albeit separately from the other four. The hostage, identified only as Trevithick, was imprisoned while studying in the country for several months. Upon his release, he was allowed to leave immediately for the US.

Put Iran sanctions ban back and yell sike
What else did he give away? The hostages should have been released a long time ago with a strong president at the hull.
This wannabe king has sold his soul and our lives to Islam. I’m very happy we got our Americans back but instead of lifting sanctions why not just cut of all the money and weapons that have been flowing into that country. I think there is a hidden “deal” between Dumbama and the Iranian leaders. Wait and see.
And then they take 3 more Americans from Baghdad..prayers for the contractors that were taken.
Two of the scariest men on the planet! They are both bent on our destruction! !
As I remember it, Iran held American hostages for about 440 days during the last of the Carter days. Reagan was elected and Iran could not release them quick enough. I think they “saw the handwriting on the wall. We need someone who won’t be intimidated by bullies.
Way to go. Mr. President. Great job
Wow what a joke !
obama is an$#%&!@*clown
