Show Notes

In July 2020, German-Iranian businessman and US resident Jamshid Sharmahd boarded an Emirates flight bound for India. Sharmahd had a layover in Dubai, where he checked into a hotel for the night. He then disappeared for a few days – and resurfaced in a video where he was held captive by Iran's Revolutionary Guards.
