Iran has executed a German-Iranian citizen whose daughter savaged the Biden-Harris administration and the German government for not doing enough to save him.
Jamshid (Jimmy) Sharmahd, 69, was kidnapped in Dubai in 2020 and held by the despotic Iranian regime. “In January 2022, the United Nations Human Rights Council reported that Mr. Sharmahd was one of several ‘foreign and dual nationals who remain imprisoned under inhumane conditions, including limitations on contact with their families,’” the Global Liberty Alliance noted. The Iranian regime accused Sharmahd of organizing an attack on a mosque in 2008 that killed 14 people and also claimed he had disclosed “classified information” on the missile sites of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz condemned the execution, writing on X: “The execution of Jamshid Sharmahd by the Iranian regime is a scandal that I condemn in the strongest possible terms. Jamshid Sharmahd was not even given the opportunity to defend himself against the charges against him during the trial.”
But in early September, Skarmahd’s daughter, Gazelle, spoke out on X, saying, “Everybody is a freaking expert on how to get hostages out and everybody this week is pointing fingers at Israel, saying, ‘You haven’t done enough. This is not how it’s being done. Let me tell you how it’s being done,’ including two of our world leaders, Germany and the U.S.”
“So let’s look at what they’re saying and what they have done to get their hostages out,” she stated. “Our world leader, our President Biden, was chilling at the beach this week while his VP was using the hostage family, the American hostage family, for her campaign trail on the DNC. And after Hamas executed him [Hersh Goldberg-Polin], she made a phone call and was very sorry about that. But let’s look back at how the Biden-Harris administration has handled other American hostages; one, specifically: my dad, Jimmy Sharmahd, is an American and a German, and he’s been kidnapped, taken to Iran, held hostage there for four years, the entire time of this administration, and they haven’t done anything to bring him home.”
“Neither President Biden nor his VP Harris have even talked to us or even mentioned my dad’s name, [let] alone done something for him,” she noted. “And last year, around this time, in September, me and my brother were in a sit-in strike with other hostage families in front of the state Department, asking, ‘What is being done to bring our family, our parents, back home?’”
