Siamak Namazi, an American wrongfully detained in Iran for seven years, has launched a hunger strike to call on President Joe Biden to take notice of US detainees in the country. Namazi has asked Biden to devote one minute of his day for the next seven days to thinking about the tribulations of the U.S. hostages in Iran. The Biden administration has yet to comment on Namazi's hunger strike, but the US State Department has said it is "deeply concerned" about the welfare of all US citizens detained in Iran and committed to securing their release.
