President Donald Trump on Wednesday evening said Iran released a U.S. citizen it has held for nearly two years, a development that could signal positive momentum in peace negotiations between Tehran and Washington.
The president did not name the woman but said she had been “wrongfully detained” since December 2024, when he noted former President Joe Biden was in office. He praised Iran for releasing the woman and said she is now safely outside the country. The woman later appeared to be identified on social media as Dena Karari by her lawyer, human rights attorney Jared Genser.
