Americans shouldn’t be going to Iran anyways
I don’t think they were natural born Citizen Americans.
I read elsewhere that all six Americans were dual citizens of Iran. The idea of foreigners becoming American citizens yet choosing to remain immersed in the goings-on of their original homeland, especially a crazy country like Iran, to the extent of physically going there, and then calling upon America to bail them out when they get into trouble there, well it does not sit well with me.
