Iran's judiciary said Saturday that that it had released four Iranian-American nationals as part of a prisoner swap with the United States. The Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian was among the prisoners freed, Iranian media reported.

It happened the day sanctions were lifted.

Thank you to all those who worked "under the radar" and made this happen!

Good morning Terrier!  Thanks for posting this terrific news.  It's great to see diplomacy in action, rather than caving to the calls to carpet bomb, put our young people in harm's way and make the sand in the middle east "glow".

Grateful that cooler heads have prevailed.  Praying it continues.

If we did what some suggested on Thursday night - and showed "all our might" and refused to talk with Iranian leaders - they would ALL still be there, including the sailors!

And we'd be beating the drums of war.

It's so good to hear good, rational news for a change.

At 74, I'm thinking I'm somewhere in the last few years of this wonderful life -- and I've love to live it without all the fear-mongering.

People who we DO trust wouldn't have held our people in the first place!!!

We need to learn to work with everyone - friends and enemies alike. I don't think anyone in the administration "trusts" them - but they are adult enough to know how to work with them for common goals.
