Summary
US President Donald Trump announced on July 15 that Iran has released an American woman who had been detained since December 2024, calling it a 'gesture of goodwill.' The woman, identified by her lawyer as Dena Karari, a US-Iranian citizen, was held on charges of collaboration with a hostile state and espionage, which her attorney described as 'bogus.' Trump stated she is now safely outside Iran and in good condition, but did not provide further details about her detention.
The release comes amid heightened tensions, as Trump recently ordered a resumption of airstrikes targeting Iran's air defense networks, radar systems, and missile batteries, and reimposed a naval blockade. He has also threatened to target bridges and power plants unless Iran agrees to negotiate a peace deal that includes abandoning its nuclear ambitions. In May, Washington announced the release of an Iranian citizen with US permanent residency who had served a 10-year prison sentence in Iran.
