Family of Americans held in Iran wants any deal to free them

The family of an American-Iranian father and son detained for years in Iran appealed Monday to President Joe Biden to make freeing of Iranian-American detainees a condition of any deals or concessions with that country. Baquer Namazi, formerly of UNICEF, was detained in 2016 when he traveled to Tehran to win the release of his son, Siamak Namazi, a businessman detained in Iran a year earlier. The two were sentenced to 10 years in prison on what the United States and United Nations called trumped-up spying charges.
