The source reported Thursday that President Donald Trump announced the release of an American citizen who had been arrested in Iran, adding that the cost of the release is unclear. The announcement follows Trump's earlier statement thanking Iran for the release and calling it a 'gesture of goodwill.'
At 11:50 Jerusalem, a source reported that President Donald Trump announced the release of an American citizen from Iran, adding that the cost of the release remains unclear. The announcement follows an earlier statement by Trump thanking Iran for the release and calling it a 'gesture of goodwill' amid ongoing regional escalation, as The Zioneer reported earlier today.
The Zioneer first reported the release at 01:56 Jerusalem, when Trump said on Truth Social that Iran had released an American woman detained in December 2024, calling it a 'gesture of goodwill.' Through subsequent updates, the released citizen was identified as Dana Karri, an American-Iranian, and Trump noted that at least three other American citizens remain imprisoned in Iran. The Zioneer published a summary of the statement at 08:58 Jerusalem.
The release comes amid heightened US-Iran tensions, as The Zioneer has reported on related developments, including discussions of financial relief and other detainee cases.
The cost of the release remains unconfirmed, and no details on any financial arrangements have been disclosed. The status of the three other American citizens reportedly still held in Iran also remains open.
