前伊朗被拘留者西阿马克·纳马齐（Siamak Namazi）表示，随着美国在伊朗的战争持续，他担心那些已知被关押在伊朗监狱中的少数美国人处境危险。
“在那个流氓政权手中，他们现在是最容易被当作出气筒的目标，”他在与《面对国家》（Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan）节目主持人玛格丽特·布伦南（Margaret Brennan）的专题讨论中说道。
“我认为这是一个危险的时期，”纳马齐表示。他补充道，“对于人质或在国外被错误拘留的公民来说，他们最大的恐惧是被遗忘，而现在局势动荡，这对他们来说非常危险。”
纳马齐于2015年在伊朗臭名昭著的埃文监狱被拘留，经过近八年的囚禁后获释，是从伊朗获释的被关押时间最长的美国人。美国国务院认定他是被错误拘留的。
曾在伊朗被关押五年的埃马德·沙尔吉（Emad Shargi）回忆起2022年10月伊朗爆发大规模反政府抗议时，他在埃文监狱的经历。22岁的马哈萨·阿米尼（Mahsa Amini）因被指控佩戴头巾不当而被捕，后在警方拘留期间死亡。当局称她死于心脏病发作，但她的家人称警方将她殴打致死。
沙尔吉表示，当监狱外发生动荡时，监狱内部的情况“非常令人不安”。
“每当伊朗国内出现问题，埃文监狱的围墙就像一个放大器，”沙尔吉说，“所以，当社会上出现一点风波，监狱里就会掀起巨浪。”他回忆起监狱内曾发生火灾，以及因抗议活动涌入的新囚犯。
沙尔吉和纳马齐是2023年在伊朗和拜登政府之间达成的一项高风险、复杂外交协议中获释的五名美国公民之一。该协议包括转移60亿美元解冻的伊朗石油资产，并释放五名在美国面临指控的伊朗人。
当时，一位高级政府官员表示，该协议“不会以任何方式改变我们与伊朗的关系。伊朗是我们的对手，也是支持恐怖主义的国家。”
纳马齐表示，他“有信心”如果特朗普总统及其政府知道“有美国人被关押在埃文监狱”，他们会在持续的战争中“将此问题提上议程”。
“我认为重要的是，他应该知道有无辜的美国人像我们一样被当作政治棋子关押着，”纳马齐说。
沙尔吉表示同意，称他无法“想象如果特朗普总统知道他们的名字和这些案件，他们不会成为优先事项之一”。
“我个人认为，很快就会有转机，因为所有战争最终都会以某种形式的外交结束，”沙尔吉说，“所以，我恳请特朗普总统确保即将到来的谈判中，把让我们的人民回家作为其中一部分。”
目前至少有四名美国人被伊朗拘留。其中两人——雷扎·瓦利扎德（Reza Valizadeh）和卡姆兰·赫克马蒂（Kamran Hekmati）——被美国政府认定为“被错误拘留”，两人据信被关押在埃文监狱。
周四，在国防部长彼得·黑格斯泰斯（Pete Hegseth）表示将向伊朗派遣“迄今为止最大规模的打击包”时，纳马齐和沙尔吉与沙尔吉的妹妹内达·沙尔吉（Neda Sharghi）、美国人质谈判代表罗杰·卡斯坦斯（Roger Carstens）以及玛格丽特·布伦南一同参与了专题讨论。
“我们的美国人质，无论是在伊朗还是委内瑞拉，他们总是成为更大、更广泛政治问题的人质，”内达·沙尔吉说。她表示，美国人“需要说服我们的政府将他们与当前局势隔离开来，并找到创造性的解决方案，就像我们让埃马德和西阿马克回家那样。”
卡斯坦斯曾在特朗普第一任期和拜登政府中担任美国人质事务特使。他告诉布伦南，他不知道被拘留的美国人是否在与伊朗谈判中被提出，谈判由特使史蒂夫·维特科夫（Steve Witkoff）和总统女婿贾里德·库什纳（Jared Kushner）主导。
他说，当他谈判让沙尔吉和纳马齐回家时，“我们非常清楚核谈判与囚犯谈判之间的联系，因为如果核谈判突然彻底失败，囚犯谈判也可能随之失败。”
卡斯坦斯表示，美国试图让被拘留者与核谈判的联系不那么紧密，“也许在这两个问题之间只划一条虚线，而不是将它们紧密联系起来。”
“我们对这些问题之间的密切程度非常务实，我们希望有灵活性，如果需要的话可以将它们分开，”卡斯坦斯说。
他承认，对伊朗政权而言，核问题和囚犯问题“联系非常紧密”。但卡斯坦斯表示，这对美国人来说可能并非如此：“如果维特科夫和库什纳试图提出核问题的解决方案，他们会在多大程度上把囚犯问题与核问题捆绑在一起？实际上，这可能并不那么紧密，这取决于他们认为与伊朗的谈判进展到什么程度。”

Former Iran detainees fear Americans held in Iranian prisons face heightened danger
March 20, 2026 / 3:45 PM EDT / CBS News
Former Iran detainee Siamak Namazi says he’s worried about the handful of Americans known to be held inside Iranian prisons as the U.S. war in Iran continues.
“They are the easiest-to-grab punching bag right now in the hands of that rogue regime,” he said during a panel discussion with “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan.”
“I think this is a dangerous time,” said Namazi. He added, “For a hostage or wrongfully detained citizen abroad, their biggest fear is to be forgotten, and this is a very dangerous time for them, with all that’s going on in Washington’s mind.”
Namazi was detained in Iran’s notorious Evin prison in 2015 after almost eight years of captivity, the longest-held American prisoner to be released from Iran. The State Department determined that he had been wrongfully detained.
Emad Shargi, who was held in Iran for five years, recalled being in the Evin prison in October 2022, as massive anti-government protests seized the country. Mahsa Amini, 22, had been arrested for allegedly wearing a hijab incorrectly and died in police custody. Authorities said she had a heart attack, but her family said police beat her to death.
Shargi said it’s a “very uncomfortable situation” inside the prison when there’s unrest outside.
“Whenever there is an issue taking place in Iran, the walls of Evin are like an amplifier,” Shargi said. “So, when there’s a ripple outside in the society, there’s a tidal wave inside.” He recalled a fire inside the prison, and an influx of new prisoners related to the protests.
Shargi and Namazi were among five U.S. citizens who were freed in 2023 in a high-stakes, complex diplomatic deal brokered between Iran and the Biden administration that included the transfer of $6 billion in unfrozen Iranian oil assets and the release of five Iranians facing charges in the U.S.
At the time, a senior administration official said the deal “does not change our relationship with Iran in any way. Iran is an adversary and a state sponsor of terrorism.”
Namazi said he was “confident” if President Trump and his administration knew “there are Americans sitting in Evin prison,” they would “put that on the agenda” amid the ongoing war.
“I think it’s important that he hears that there are innocent Americans being held like we were — as political pawns,” said Namazi.
Shargi agreed, saying that he couldn’t “imagine if President Trump knew their names and knew these cases, they wouldn’t be one of the priorities.”
“I personally think that there will be a time soon because all wars end with some form of diplomacy,” Shargi said. “So, I would implore President Trump to make sure that part of those negotiations that will be coming up is bringing our people home.”
There are at least four Americans currently detained in Iran. Two of them — Reza Valizadeh and Kamran Hekmati — have been designated by the U.S. government as “wrongfully detained.” Both are believed to be held in Evin prison.
Namazi and Shargi spoke on a panel with Shargi’s sister, Neda Sharghi, American hostage negotiator Roger Carstens and Margaret Brennan Thursday, as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the “largest strike package yet” was coming in Iran.
“Our American hostages, whether they’re in Iran or in Venezuela, is that they always become a hostage to other bigger, broader political issues,” Neda Sharghi said. She said Americans “need to convince our government to separate them from what’s going on and find a creative solution, like we did to get Emad and Siamak home.”
Carstens, who served as the U.S. special envoy for hostage affairs in both the first Trump and the Biden administrations, told Brennan he doesn’t know whether the detained Americans were raised during the negotiations with Iran led by special envoy Steve Witkoff and the president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.
He said that when he was negotiating to bring Shargi and Namazi home, “we were very cognizant of the connection between the nuclear talks and that of the prisoner talks, because if the nuclear talks suddenly fail very horribly, the prisoner talks could be pulled down with it.”
Carstens said the U.S. tried to keep the ties between the detainees and the nuclear talks less intertwined, “to maybe just have a dotted line between the two issues, but not link them too tightly together.”
“We were very practical about how close those issues got together, and we wanted the flexibility to separate them if we wanted to,” Carstens said.
He acknowledged that for the regime, the nuclear issue and detainees are “much more married close together.” But Carstens said that might not be the case for the Americans: “If Witkoff and Kushner were trying to articulate an end to a nuclear issue, how close will they push it together? Practically, it may not be that close, depending on where they feel they are with the Iranians.”
