Her arrest last month, the latest in a string of arrests of dual nationals lured back to Iran, has thrown cold water on my hopes, for now. The oppressors, for the moment, have won. But it's a hollow victory, and I do not believe a permanent one, as it only serves to starve Iran of the vitality and eng...
