🧵From the family of Iran hostage Robert Levinson:   Today is a great day because American hostages unjustly held by the government of Iran have been returned to their families. This is cause for celebration for all Americans.

The Levinson family said in a statement that they welcomed the news of the release of the Americans and were grateful for the new sanctions, "but make no mistake: Today's good news does not end our family's nightmare and ongoing pain."

I want to say welcome home my friend, but I know for you ā€œhomeā€ was always Iran, and they took that away from you. I also know that they couldn’t take away your grace, your dignity, your generosity, and your sense of humor. I can’t wait to hug you, my brother.

WATCH: BROTHER OF RELEASED AMERICAN SPEAKS "We've been apart for 8 years, we're grateful for this moment," says Babak Namazi, brother of the newly freed Siamak Namazi. Siamak is "the real hero of the story, surviving 8 years of brutal treatment, but never, never losing hope."

Today, five innocent Americans who were imprisoned in Iran are back on American soil and in the arms of their loved ones. Welcome home. I remain unflinching in my efforts to bring home every American held hostage or wrongfully detained.

ā€œI can genuinely say for the first time in 8 years, I’m doing great,ā€ says Babak Namazi, brother of Siamak, now freed from Iran. ā€œI’ve dreamt of this moment for 8 years… I honestly can’t believe it’s here. I honestly can’t. I’ve embraced him, I’ve held him… It’s just not real.ā€
