. . ."[Trump] should explain that when he is back in charge, he expects all these hostages to be released. All of them. And that they better be in the best possible condition.

" It also seized American hostages.
"It was Reagan who saw the opportunity to make the election in part about that.
"How dare any country seize Americans and get away with it?
"He famously insisted that on Day One of his administration the hostages would be returned.
"The mullahs realized they were no longer dealing with a weak American leader and the hostages were duly brought home.
"Today we are in a similar situation.
"Iran and Russia in particular are in an ugly citizen-bartering phase.
"Vladimir Putin has now held an American journalist (Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich) for more than a year.
"Russia has invented charges against him and is clearly holding him to try to trade him at some point.
"In a little-covered story, Putin’s friends in Iran recently stole two Swedish civilians in order to swap them for an Iranian war criminal held in a Swedish jail.
"US citizen Robert Woodland was also recently detained in Russia.
"Again most likely for a swap.
"But most appalling is the more than 100 hostages currently being held by Iran and Qatar’s proxy army in Gaza: Hamas.
"These hostages include at least five Americans.
"To the shame of Biden and Harris, these Americans have been utterly abandoned." . . .
