Should Obama have insisted on the release of Saeed Abedini in the Iran Deal?

The wife of imprisoned American pastor Saeed Abedini says she and her family are devastated after learning that the Obama administration did not try to secure the release of her husband as part of the newly signed deal on Iran's nuclear program. 

Saeed Abedini, an American citizen, has been imprisoned in Iran for more than a year for practicing Christianity. The talks over Iran's nuclear program were seen by his family and those representing them as one of the most promising avenues yet for securing his release. 

But the White House confirmed over the weekend that Abedini's status was not on the table during those talks.

 Should Obama have included his release as part of the deal?

If Obama were to do this, he'd make up for what an economic fuck-up he was, I guess?

He broke their law since Christianity is illegal there. This is not of Obama's doing and thus he owes the man nothing.

Side: No

Obama is a Muslim, I am glad that Prophet Muhammad PBUH has found his way to such an influential man's heart.

Side: No
