TEHRAN, Iran – A senior Iranian prosecutor said Sunday that authorities will release a jailed American woman on $500,000 bail because of health problems, another sudden about-face by Iran in a case that has added to tension with the United States.

Is this really a release? And did we just pay off a government in violation of our "no-negotiation" policy?

I doubt it really came from the Swiss.
And are these guys human shields protecting Iran from attack?
So, who is this guy? By any chance, was it Charles Mohammad de Tallibanrand?
Amen, brother, amen.
Exactly- if 1 person went- maybe I could think they were just stupid-
But all 3 ?? and a girl,unmarried, traveling with 2 unrelated men? in the Iraq/Iran mountains?
Yep just ordinary American college students with nothing to do..
sarc
we should immediately arrest the ambassador and all the consulate on grounds of extortion...
freeze the assets and convert their women.

The money came from us. I expect her to have glowing reviews of Iran and the luxurious cell she was kept in. Folks, even if they didn’t have the other two I’m betting she’d have nothing but praise for Iran. Liberals have to be clinically insane, because once Sharia kicks in, the women, gays, trans,
etc will be the first bunch to suffer, well after the Jews and Christians. It’s just nuts.
Oh I thought she had been released already,, sigh didn’t read the whole article sorry.
bingo
Swim in a school of sharks long enough you eventually get killed.
Strange they're setting bail for an alleged spy and not a swap which is usually the deal. I think this is a major error on Iran's part in that bail directly conflicts with their insinuation these kids were spies and more of a hostage release similar in scope they did in the infamous 444 days"debacle.
I hope someone follows up on the money angle.
They should pay it - in JDAMs.
Did the gov send her there to hike?
If not she should be responsible for paying
her ransom money.
Let ‘em rot.. dummies for ever going there in the first place..
No Ransom.
You haven’t met some of my friends... I know a girl who rode alone with a few random nomads for weeks along the border between Mozambique and Tanzania.
But she’s been in the Peace Corps in Mali for years, she doesn’t seem to fear much anymore.

Sounds like an Obama voter - they'll pay the bail ...
No, WE American taxpayers will pay.
From what I’ve heard of this girl, she’s not worth it.
Must be time to make a payment to the Russians for fueling the ol' reactor.
