Iran Releases U.S. Citizen Dena Karari After Year-Long Detention

Dena Karari was permitted to depart Iran on Thursday after being held in the country since December 2024. Trump characterized the release as a gesture of goodwill from the Iranian government. The move comes while the U.S. continues military strikes on Iranian sites. Karari had been wrongfully detained for over a year before her release. The Wall Street Journal reported that she was allowed to leave early Thursday morning.
