How do you know the hikers did nothing wrong, were you there? It doesnt matter that the hikers are being detained indefiniately. Iran gets to run its country how it sees fit, and these hikers knew that when they decided it would be a great idea to hike along their heavily patrolled (and often disputed) border.

Yes, I was there, and they did nothing wrong. And we get to run our country as we see fit too, which in this case means using any means neccesary to stop a foreign country from cruel and unusual punishment. A year detention for a mistake is cruel. 8 years hard labor for purposefuly invading a foreign country is not.
