President Donald Trump thanked Iran for a ‘gesture of Goodwill’ after an American woman who was wrongly detained in 2024 was released from the country, while also taking a shot at the former President Biden.

Trump showed gratitude for the gesture in a post on Truth Social on Wednesday, adding that the woman was now outside the country and in ‘good condition’.

‘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,’ wrote the president.

‘She is now safely outside of Iran, and in good condition. The United States of America appreciates this gesture of Goodwill by Iran!’

The woman was identified as Dena Karari, in a post to X by her attorney Jared Genser. 

Genser wrote that Karari was trapped in Iran since December of 2024 on ‘bogus charges’ before he thanked Trump.

‘This would not have happened but for the extraordinary and relentless efforts of [President Donald Trump]. Dena is now safe and traveling back to the United States.,’ wrote the lawyer. 

Her release comes amid Trump’s recent decision on Tuesday to reinstate his naval blockade of Iran, barring ships from entering or leaving their ports, days after Tehran attacked another commercial vessel and declared the Strait of Hormuz closed.
