Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian, an American newspaper reporter who was arrested over a year ago and held incommunicado in prison, was released from captivity by the Iranian Ayatollah and his minions today. Tomorrow marks the end of economic sanctions imposed against Iran because of their repeated violations of International Arms agreements. The agreement signed last year by 6 nations allowed the lifting of sanctions after complying with terms of the agreement which included eliminating nuclear fuel development and most of the enriched fuels in their stockpiles.
Mr. Rezaiin was united with his Mother and wife and was found to be in good condition, a remarkable feat given Iran's history of prisoner abuses. His trial, where he was convicted of phony charges, caused an international outrage. However, the Ayatollah was unresponsive to diplomatic requests for his release.
Billions of dollars, held in overseas accounts frozen by sanction, will be released to Iran this coming week. This will help restore some elements of economic growth in that country but will hardly stem the international criminality of this rogue state that has embarked on a mission to disrupt world laws and order.
Security officials will be looking closely at all Iranian activities outside of its borders. As they should because this theocracy is run by madmen.
