American Woman Returns Home After 566 Days in Iranian Detention
An American woman returned to the United States on Saturday after spending 566 days in detention in Iran. Dena Karari, who was reportedly accused of espionage because of her work with a U.S. nonprofit organization that helps impoverished children, arrived in the U.S., according to her attorney, Jared Genser.
In a post on X, Genser wrote:
"Welcome home #DenaKarari from #Iran to the land of the free and the home of the brave — after 566 days wrongly detained by the Iranian regime."
He added:
"THANK YOU to all who made this day possible, known and unknown. We must now redouble our efforts to get all the other Americans out!"
Genser also shared a photo of Karari wrapped in an American flag beneath an airport sign reading, "Welcome to the United States of America."
Karari's return came just days after President Donald Trump announced that Iran had released an American woman whom he said had been "wrongfully detained" in the country.
Karari is the first known American to be released from Iranian custody since 2023, marking a significant development amid heightened military tensions between Washington and Tehran.
