“Princeton University student kidnapped by Iran-backed militia group in Iraq — in March: officials,” New York Post, 7-5-23.  Don’t be fooled by the recent diplomacy/normalization overtures by the Regime toward other countries.  They keep on taking hostages, terrorism, drone production, ballistic missile production, support for terror groups, etc., etc.  Iran refuses to act as a normal country.   Last observation–this Princeton student has just lost 2-3 years of her life.  See also “Israeli Woman Held for Months in Iraq by Shiite Militia Linked to Iran,” NYT, 7-5-23.

“Navy stops Iran from seizing 2 commercial ships,” Politico, 7-5-23.  “Iran has tried to seize vessels in the Gulf of Oman and has targeted 20 internationally flagged merchant vessels since 2021 according to public information from the U.S. Navy.”  Remember, this is a form of hostage taking.
