Here's what to do if it happens to you

The deal to free the Americans has been outlined since Aug. 10, when four of them were moved from Iran's Evin prison, known for its harsh treatment of foreigners and political prisoners, to house arrest in a Tehran hotel. U.S. officials say efforts to free the U.S. citizens had been in negotiations through third parties for years.
He said Iran"has mastered the nasty game of caging innocent Americans and other foreign nationals, and commercializing their freedom." Critics of the deal in the U.S. have said it sends a message that Iran can benefit by capturing Americans and holding them for ransom. On Aug. 22, three House Republican leaders — Michael McCaul of Texas, Steve Scalise of Louisiana and Elise Stefanik of New York — wrote Biden, saying,"Our citizens deserve answers about why your administration is rewarding an Iranian regime that is targeting Americans overseas and at home.
"And," he said,"we will continue to impose costs on Iran for their provocative actions in the region."
