NPRMan Whose Father And Brother Are Imprisoned In Iran On Prospects Of Freedom NPR's Mary Louise Kelly talks with Babak Namazi, whose father and brother are being held captive by Iran. AUDIE CORNISH, HOST: When my co-host Mary Louise Kelly sat down in Tehran last week to interview Iran's foreign minister, Javad Zarif, she asked how Iran would retaliate for the U.S. killing of General Qassem Soleimani, also about the future of the 2015 nuclear deal and this. MARY LOUISE KELLY, BYLINE: Last question - there's something like five U.S. citizens still being detained in Iran, including the aging Baquer Namazi, who is in ill health. KELLY: I want to just let people know for those who haven't followed your dad's case closely - he was sentenced in 2016 to 10 years in an Iranian prison.
