#2 Having noticed the names and careful wording used here....

" U.S. citizens — Siamak Namazi, Morad Tahbaz, Emad Shargi, and two Americans. "

I have to ask, was this just part of a bigger Arms Deal cover, or another Biden/Deep Swamp Cartel $$$$ deal?

BTW: Could the 2 unnamed Americans happen to be _ _ _ types, or backdoor Business facilitators?

#12 There has to be kickbacks going on with these deals with Iran. Valjar smiles because there is big money flowing, somehow, some way, to her and her boss Barack. Nothing else makes sense.

Mostly visiting relatives for the first time since they escaped the fall of the Shah in 1980 or thereabouts, Besoeker, or academics doing on-site research. At least that’s what those we’ve read about here seem to have been.

Except for the earnest gentleman who was doing a favour for the CIA.
