According to FARS, it has freed Rezaian, Marine veteran Amir Hekmati and Christian pastor Saeed Abedini, who had been held on various charges. The news agency did not name the fourth person released.

I am glad those people are being freed it still does not make me want to like the Iranian regime nor trust or have faith in them...

One thing about warming the waters with Iran is that it remove a ally from Russia inner circle of friends, but I will never trust Iran regime...

Let's see, we have a REPORT that ONE supposed hostage (a man with duel Iranian and American citizenship...Is that an American?...Teddy Roosevelt didn't think so!) will be released....how about the other FOUR AMERICANS held?.... That Navy boat was a setup to make Iran LOOK like a NON TERRORIST nation, and releasing ONE MAN that is an IRANIAN does the same propaganda as the boats...But the OP IS a low 2 digit IQ'd subversive sword swallower!

One thing that might interest you.......for the first time in years Iran does not have enough fissionable material to build a bomb. The nuclear deal was a jewel and Obama's administration should be praised for it.

Regarding the Sailors who "drifted off course" and were released (timing impeccable)....
Something stinks to high heaven in the Obama regime. The boats the Sailors were in not only have sophisticated radar, they have GPS devices (numerous) and chart plotters that place the position of the craft right on the fucking chart! The claim by Iran, and his Muslim brother Obama, that the boats "strayed into Iranian waters" is complete and total political bullshit.

What proof do you have besides the word of Iran or Obama? That is a joke.

No ransom for hostages?...

Exclusive: White House dropped $10 million claim in Iran prisoner deal
Wed Jan 27, 2016 - Nader Modanlo was facing five more years in federal prison when he got an extraordinary offer: U.S. President Barack Obama was ready to commute his sentence as part of this month's historic and then still-secret prisoner swap with Iran. He said no.

To sweeten the deal, the U.S. administration then dropped a claim against the Iran-born aerospace engineer for $10 million that a Maryland jury found he had taken as an illegal payment from Iran, according to interviews with Modanlo, lawyers involved and U.S. officials with knowledge of the matter. The surrender of the U.S. claim, which has not previously been reported, could add to scrutiny of how the Obama administration clinched a prisoner deal that has drawn criticism from Republican presidential candidates and lawmakers. A Washington-based spokesman for the Justice Department declined to comment on discussions over the $10 million, which the jury found that Modanlo was paid to help Iran launch its first satellite in 2005. Modanlo says the money was a loan from a Swiss company for a telecoms deal.

In the prisoner swap, five Americans held in Iran were released at the same time as seven Iranians charged or imprisoned in the United States were granted pardons or had their sentences commuted. The deal accompanied the Jan. 16 implementation of a landmark agreement that curbs Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief. Even after receiving the improved offer on Friday, Jan. 15, Modanlo said he didn't budge at first. He wanted a chance to clear his name in court, he says. “I was mostly disappointed that I have to give up my right to appeal,” Modanlo, 55, told Reuters in one of his first interviews since being released. “If they believe in their justice system why would they deprive me of it? Let them prove me wrong.”

As part of their clemency agreements, all of the Iranians had to renounce any claims against the U.S. government. All but one had been accused of violating the economic sanctions the United States has enforced against Iran for decades. Modanlo’s reluctance to accept Obama’s offer became an eleventh-hour complication to an otherwise carefully staged deal with Iran that had been negotiated in secret for months by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and his Iranian counterpart. He only agreed to accept the clemency offer on Saturday, Jan. 16 as the clock ticked toward what U.S. officials said was the final deadline, according to Modanlo and U.S. officials. He was freed the next day from a federal prison near Richmond, Virginia. The release marked an abrupt conclusion to his case after a sprawling, decade-long investigation into Modanlo's role in brokering Iran’s access to space technology. U.S. federal agents had pursued evidence from the suburbs of Washington to Switzerland and Russia.
