Turns out there were people released as a part of the Obama-Jarrett Iran nuke deal. Problem is, none of them where the four American hostages held in Iran. Instead, Obama-Jarrett decided to release top Iranian scientist Mojtaba Atarodi who was arrested in California for attempting to acquire equipment for Iran’s military-nuclear programs. According to The Gateway Pundit, Mojtaba Atarodi was released as part of back channel talks of the Iran nuke deal.

Mojtaba Atarodi, arrested in California for attempting to acquire equipment for Iran’s military-nuclear programs, was released in April as part of back channel talks, Times of Israel told. The contacts, mediated in Oman for years by close colleague of the Sultan, have seen a series of US-Iran prisoner releases, and there may be more to come.
The secret back channel of negotiations between Iran and the United States, which led to this month’s interim deal in Geneva on Iran’s rogue nuclear program, has also seen a series of prisoner releases by both sides, which have played a central role in bridging the distance between the two nations, the Times of Israel has been told.
In the most dramatic of those releases, the US in April released a top Iranian scientist, Mojtaba Atarodi, who had been arrested in 2011 for attempting to acquire equipment that could be used for Iran’s military-nuclear programs.
