For the at least four Americans currently being held by the Iranian regime, former Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs Roger Carstens said the Trump administration’s goal of bringing them home “might be off to the side or not necessarily coming up to fruition.” But, he adds: “I think it's our hope that if the president lists four war objectives, that the fifth objective is getting Americans out and maybe freeing all the other people that are kept in Evin Prison.
