Press TV reports that the two remaining Americans "hikers" which had been detained for about two years by Iran left Mehrabad airport today.
The New York Times further added that these men are most likely headed to Oman, which probably played a crucial role in releasing them, just as the Omani government had with Sarah Shroud. It's not clear whether these individuals were actually spies are not, their story is a bit shady but the Iranians, for their part, unfortunately played into making this a political case instead of a judicial one. For example, they allowed the mothers of these individuals to visit them in a very publicized manner and allowed this story to take on a "humanitarian" spin, not a legal-procedural tone.
