Trump prides himself on freeing American prisoners held abroad. So why isn’t he pushing harder for the ones in Iran? @kgilsinan and @yarabayoumy report: theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
@kgilsinan @yarabayoumy "[T]he fact that when you engage with Iranian officials they always tell you not to make noise, and that if you don’t make noise, things will be resolved more quickly, that’s probably an indication that you should do precisely the opposite.” - @Joelcpj theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
@kgilsinan @yarabayoumy @Joelcpj "The State Department’s office of the special envoy for hostage affairs declined to comment despite repeated inquiries." theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
The ordeal these prisoners and families are going through is horrifying, and it can't get enough attention. Kudos to @kgilsinan and @yarabayoumy for an insightful, empathetic story. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
