Why is iran using hostage for propganda purposes?

Question

are they as weak as they were in the 1980?

Answer 1

Because they are smart enough to know that the Dems in the US congress are trying to lose the war.  They see the opportunity to thumb their nose at the world community again.  If our congress does not get their head out of their butts and give our soldiers the funds and supplies that they need to win this war it will only get worse.

10 years USMC  -  I have fought for my country, what you you done for your's?

Answer 2

Iran is in no way weak and should not be undermined. They feel threatened when the U.S. or UK enter in the territory, and their bias against the west also adds to it...
