Good morning, President ~~Obama~~ Carter. Welcome to 1979. Sadly, no Reagan waits in the wings this time to save us.

#6 Oddly enough, they probably are spies. The question is who are they working for? Typically, their residency and citizenship would be for any other country than that of their employer.

For example, the Soviet Union had a huge Canadian interest office, to conduct operations in the US.

#7 It is a hostage situation. Iran wants something in order to let them go. And yes, they are acting like Russians (the Iranians).

Hikers on THAT border? Plausible. Very beautiful place it is. Snatched over the border the hikers were. Iranians pulled these guys in from another country. That's where the file for the court needs to begin.
