The President of the United States, Donald Trump, announced this Wednesday that Iran allowed the departure from the country of a US citizen who, he claimed, was “unjustly” detained in December 2024.

In a message published on his Truth Social platform, Trump thanked what he described as a “gesture of good will” on the part of Iran and noted that the United States celebrates that the citizen was able to leave the country.

The president did not identify the woman, nor did he offer details about the circumstances of her arrest or the diplomatic efforts that allowed her departure.

The White House has not confirmed further details.

The White House has not yet independently reported on the release, nor has it given additional details about the case.

The detention of American citizens in Iran has for years been a point of tension between Washington and Tehran, with several cases of Americans being held on charges that the US government considers unfair.

The release comes at a time of high aggression during the war between the United States and Iran and just a few hours after the Central Command began a second wave of attacks against various military objectives in the center of the Islamic Republic.
