An American woman who has been held in Iran for more than 18 months has been freed, according to President Donald Trump.
Jared Genser, the attorney for Dena Karari, said it was a “minor miracle” that she was freed during a war, according to CNN.
He noted that her health issues, which included a massive heart attack suffered last week, may have played a role in the 53-year-old’s release.
“Iran has allowed an American Citizen, who was wrongfully detained in December of 2024 under the ‘presidency’ of Sleepy Joe Biden, to leave the Country,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
“She is now safely outside of Iran, and in good condition,” Trump wrote.
“The United States of America appreciates this gesture of Goodwill by Iran!” he posted.
Genser credited Trump for his client’s release.
