So, all Iran has to do is force these hikers to confess and we're all squared away? I think it's pretty easy to tell that in that case and in this one, the arrests and detainment were politically motivated.

Its not easy to tell at all. Do you have any facts about the Pattis case? Read this and tell me if it doesnt sound like he was likely a CIA informant. The govt wouldnt even deny it, just didnt comment.
