No Christmas services for hostages in Tehran standoff
Swiss diplomats visited three American hostages in Tehran as Iran refused Christmas festivities for the 52 captives. They allowed only limited future visits by Iranian priests, with no foreign observers present. U.S. officials rejected Iran’s ransom terms, while Vatican and Iranian officials clashed over remarks on the hostages. Authorities warned a trial could be possible if demands are unmet amid ongoing prospects for release.
