Iran Still Taking Hostages

Google Search Results:

"AI Overview

In August 2025, there are reports of at least four U.S. citizens being held hostage in Iran,
with some reports suggesting the number could be higher.
These detentions are occurring amidst heightened tensions following a 12-day conflict between Iran and Israel,
with U.S. involvement. The situation is further complicated by Iran's history
of using hostage-taking as a tactic to extract concessions from the United States and other nations. "

Denis Johnson - "Seek"

Brilliant: "But if freedom means self-responsibility—what
about the people who can’t take care
themselves? My friend, I’m one of those
people. Every day I don’t bring down something
fatal on my head is another miracle.
And every day I experience such a miracle, I want another one.
Leave me alone. I’m in love with these miracles."
