The Iranian judiciary issued a new statement Thursday evening reiterating that no American citizen was released or exchanged in a prisoner swap, contradicting President Trump's earlier claim. The judiciary accused Trump of publishing false information and said no American prisoner matching his description exists.
The Iranian judiciary late Thursday issued a second denial of President Trump's claim that an American prisoner was released or swapped. The statement, which followed an earlier denial reported by The Zioneer at 21:46 Jerusalem, reiterates that no American citizen matching Trump's description exists and accuses the president of spreading false information. The denial comes amid ongoing tensions over US-Iran negotiations and Trump's public assertions about prisoner exchanges. The Iranian judiciary's position remains that no such swap occurred, and no American detainee has been freed.
