Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : It was not clear if the moves might be a step toward Siamak's full release, nor whether it signals the possible furlough or release of other United States citizens detained in Iran.
40% : Siamak Namazi's temporary release on Saturday came as his father and former United Nations official Baquer Namazi, who was also convicted on spying charges, was permitted to leave Iran for medical treatment.
39% : Iranian-American citizen, who was convicted of spying, released from detention amid reported talks between Iran and the US on prisoner releases.
39% : Soon after news of Siamak's furlough broke, Iran's Nournews said an unnamed regional nation had mediated between Tehran and Washington for the "simultaneous release of prisoners".
33% : Iranian Americans, whose US citizenship is not recognized by Tehran, are often pawns between the two nations, now at odds over whether to revive a fraying 2015 pact under which Iran limited its nuclear program in return for sanctions relief.
31% : An Iranian-American imprisoned in Iran for nearly seven years on espionage-related charges has been allowed out of Tehran's Evin prison on a one-week furlough, his lawyer said.
