“There is a reason why this woman was charged and convicted at this time.”
Yes, and that’s why her father is at risk too.
And I will add, the closer it gets to Israel making her move against Iran, and the more threatened the regime feels, the more danger ANY westerner or Iranian visiting the country is in.
The father has only one value to the Iranian regime, and that would be squelched if he were arrested. They are more likely to kick him out of the country so he can return to the United States or Europe and be featured prominantly in the Press pleading for Obama to please help free his poor falsly convicted Daughter. Her real guilt or innocense is, as has been pointed out, unimportant. His job as far as Iran is concerned is to have him complain most vocally and keep pressure on Obama with his daughter being in the news.
