In February, we spoke with Ms. Gazelle Sharmahd, the daughter of Mr. Jamshid Sharmahd. As his friends and family call him, Jimmy is a U.S. Legal Permanent resident based with his family in California. A year ago this month, Jimmy was on his way back home to the United States from a business trip when he was kidnapped in the United Arab Emirates and taken hostage by the Iranian regime. A registered nurse working on the COVID pandemic's frontlines, Gazelle is one of her father's strongest advocates for his release. Gazelle updates listeners about her dad's situation on this show and urges stakeholders to help secure Jimmy's release from Iranian captivity. We also speak with his son, Shayan Sharmahdsaid, who works daily to bring his dad home.
