President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that Iran had released an American woman it had been holding since December 2024, stating she was now safely outside the country. He called her detention unjust and thanked Iran for what he termed a goodwill gesture. Trump provided no details on her identity or the reasons for her imprisonment. The release follows a period of renewed U.S. military action against Iran, including resumed strikes and a naval blockade, after a short-lived memorandum of understanding last month. Iran has been accused of using Western detainees as bargaining chips. The White House did not disclose any exchange or conditions.
