President Donald Trump said Iran has released an American woman who was arrested in the country in 2024, according to a report by N12's Barak Ravid. Trump expressed appreciation for the gesture, writing: "We appreciate this gesture."
The identity of the released woman and the specific circumstances of her arrest and release remain unclear. The report does not specify whether she is the same individual as the Jewish-American-Iranian man whose case Trump previously sought to resolve, as The Zioneer reported on June 9.
The announcement comes amid ongoing US-Iran negotiations, which have seen a series of statements and reported concessions in recent weeks. Trump has described Iran's leaders as "smart" and "less extreme," and said Iran has agreed to "essentially everything we need" (as previously reported by The Zioneer). The release of a detainee could be interpreted as a goodwill gesture by Tehran, though no official confirmation has been issued by Iranian authorities.
