Some naivety indeed on timing if nothing else - I imagine on some level they hoped their openess of traveling with glad hearts to meet people and share experience would prevent focus from authorities rather than magnify it, though at this present moment in time there's a case for supposing Iran would have picked anyone up so their adversaries have to ask very politely if they wouldn't mind giving them back.
One hopes they are at least allowed to be held together and not separated.
