Nosratollah Khosravi-Roodsari is the fourth American hostage released by Iran in the prisoner swap that is also finally bringing home Amir Hekmati, Saeed Abedini and Jason Rezaian. So who is Nosratollah Khosravi-Roodsari? Not much is known about him aside from the fact he is an Iranian-American. He also goes by the name of Nosratollah Khosravi. At least until today, I don’t think Nosratollah Khosravi-Roodsari name has ever been reported by the media is an American being held hostage in Iran.
Amazing Nosratollah Khosravi's imprisonment in Iran appears to have never been reported.

Neither Iranian nor American media seem to know who Nosratollah Khosravi-Roodsari is. Seems so hard to keep it hidden.

I think it says a lot about the American media when they were so focused on Jason Rezaian and didn’t even release that Iran had Nosratollah Khosravi-Roodsari as a hostage or ‘prisoner’. At the very least, he’s coming home too. The American media can dance in the streets because one of their own was freed (which is ok too), but the other Iranian hostages, including Nosratollah Khosravi-Roodsari deserve just as much praise and admiration as Jason Rezaian.
