Two American hikers that were arrested in Iran and already served two years in prison were sentenced to a total of eight years in prison. The men were charged with espionage and illegally entering the country  and have 20 days to appeal the court’s decision. Last month the U.S. had hopes that the men would be released soon but that clearly doesn’t seem to be happening anytime soon. The arrest and captivity of the hikers has but a strain on the Iran/American relationship and will most likely continue to do so. Read more about the hikers after the jump. @Julie1205
