Iran Says It’s Willing To Exchange ‘All’ Prisoners With U.S.

RFERL: Iran is prepared for a full exchange of prisoners with the United States, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said in a virtual address to the Council on Foreign Relations in New York.

In response to a question about whether Tehran would free Iranian-American father and son Baquer and Siamak Namazi, Zarif said on September 21 that the only way for him to have influence on the courts is through a swap for Iranians he claimed the United States is holding unjustly.

“Let’s not put one person in front of another. Let’s do a universal deal. I repeat, we can exchange all prisoners, period,” he said.

Washington has long demanded that Iran release U.S. citizens including Baquer and Siamak Namazi, who were jailed in 2016 and 2015, respectively. more here

  1. Trump should offer them the deal of a lifetime. They release all American prisoners and we don’t bomb them back into the Stone Age this month.

    Notice how when the sanctions were restored they suddenly got a little bit more civilized. Rinse, lather, repeat.

    “We’ll gladly trade them the traitors obummer and John effin Kerry in exchange that they leave us the hell alone”

    …any country would consider being forced to take Barry and Horse as an act of war…

  3. Bingo @cliche.

    BarackOBiden sold us out to our iranian enemies. Because they are on their side. Trump won’t fall for it.

    Attention leftist media. We know what you’re up to.
    Chris Wallace. You’re a Democrat operative. Trump will disembowel you and Joe Biden on Tuesday.

    Note to self. Get popcorn. And Bourbon.

    I assume open thread here will be put up for that night.

    I would rather hang with you crazy bastards than the finest people in the country. Don’t take that as an insult.

  4. Winning.

    @Cliche Guevara – Generally I would agree, but that was THEN and this is NOW. Did any previous president take out an Iranian high military commander EVER before with an airstrike?

    “I would rather hang with you crazy bastards than the finest people in the country. Don’t take that as an insult.” – oh I won’t @PHenry…dontcha worry…

    …I spent Election Night 2016 preparing to go to Washington, had Hillary “won”. Can’t make it any clearer than that in an open forum.

    Let’s just say that, even were I still a drinking man, in case they successfully work the steal, I wouldn’t want to wreck my reflexes with bourbon, seeing as it’s a long drive with a lot of strategic thinking required at the end…

  6. Ok.
    We take the US prisoners and Christian Arabs (triple verified).
    We give them the Iranian AND Iraqi prisoners (Sunni vs Shiite hehehe) AFTER we perform a “medical exam” (and implant an RFID tracker with a small explosive triggered by a proper sequence of tones on an RF carrier)
    Any questions?
