(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency) The United States' Senate unanimously passed a resolution calling on Iran to release three jailed Americans and help locate a fourth.
The measure, which was passed with 90 votes to zero, urged the White House to use all tools available to seek and obtain the release of the detained Americans, who include pastor Saeed Abedini, Washington Post journalist Jason Rezaian, and former US Marine Amir Hekmati.
A fourth American, retired FBI agent Robert Levinson, remains missing after mysteriously vanishing in Iran some eight years ago.
Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he hoped the resolution would send a strong message to leaders in Tehran.
