Summary
US President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that Iran has released an American citizen who had been detained since December 2024, calling it a "gesture of goodwill." Trump did not name the woman in his Truth Social post but said she was "wrongfully detained" and is now safely outside Iran. The announcement comes amid heightened tensions, as Trump recently ordered renewed strikes on Iran and reimposed a naval blockade of its ports.
A lawyer later identified the released individual as Dena Karari, a US-Iranian citizen. Attorney Jared Genser stated that Karari had been held on "bogus charges of collaboration with a hostile state and espionage" and is now en route to the United States. Trump's post expressed appreciation for Iran's action, though no official confirmation from Iranian authorities has been reported.
