US-Iran Tensions Rise as American Journalist Detained in Iran

TL;DR Summary
Iran has detained Iranian-American journalist Reza Valizadeh, who worked for the U.S.-funded Radio Farda, amid rising tensions with the U.S. and Israel. Valizadeh's arrest coincides with the 45th anniversary of the U.S. Embassy takeover in Tehran. The State Department is working with Swiss partners to gather more information, as Iran has a history of using Western detainees as political leverage. Supreme Leader Khamenei has threatened a "crushing response" to U.S. military actions in the region.
