U.S. President Donald Trump says Iran has allowed an American citizen who was “wrongfully detained” to leave the country. In posts on Truth Social, Trump states the woman was held since December 2024 and is now “safely outside of Iran” and “in good condition.” He adds that the United States “appreciates” what he calls a “gesture of goodwill” by Iran. Several outlets report the citizen is a dual U.S.-Iranian national, with one identifying her as Dena Karari, while other coverage does not name her or provide details about the detention. The accounts describe the announcement as coming amid heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran, which recent U.S. actions have also reflected according to some reports. None of the included sources provide independent confirmation of the detention circumstances beyond Trump’s account, and they do not add new information about what prompted Iran to release the prisoner. Overall, the reports focus on Trump’s statement that the person has been released and is out of Iran.
