#IranDeal Shame: No Hostages Released

Today the White House is crowing about the Iranian Nuclear Agreement, calling it “The Historic Deal that Will Prevent Iran from Acquiring a Nuclear Weapon.” “Now, with this deal in place, the U.S., our allies, and the international community can know that tough, new requirements will keep Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon,” the White House website boasts.

You know who aren’t popping the champagne? The families of these four men.

These are four American citizens who have been held hostage by Iran for years; in Levinson’s case for eight years. Levinson is the longest-held hostage in American history, and his family is continuing to urge the Obama administration to press for his release. As Levinson’s wife Christine said, “This nightmare must end.”

Here is a timeline of the imprisonment of the four men, courtesy of FreeAllThree.com, a website dedicated to their release. You’ll notice that the United States has released some Iranian prisoners — including a nuclear scientist — while they have not released ours.

The plight of the four American hostages is not unknown to the Obama administration. In April, Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice, warned:

As the United States and Iran resume talks to reach a final nuclear agreement, there’s growing concern that the Obama administration could actually reach a deal with Iran – without securing the release of American Pastor Saeed Abedini – as well as three other Americans – who remain imprisoned in Iran.

He continued:

The Obama administration has refused to ask for the release of Pastor Saeed and the other imprisoned Americans at the bargaining table. And that is a tremendous mistake.
