Genser announced late Wednesday that Karari is now free, writing that she is &#8220;safe and traveling back to the United States.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Karari was under an exit ban, which means that Iranian authorities refused to let her leave, but did not have her imprisoned.<\/p>\n<p>She was never formally charged by Iran. Although her coercive exit ban expired in April, Iran did not allow her to exit at the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She suffered a heart attack on July 8, two sources told CBS News.<\/p>\n<p>Two sources said Karari&#8217;s name was on a list of Americans that the U.S. State Department had given to U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff \u2014 who is helping to lead U.S.-Iran diplomacy \u2014 to press for her release.<\/p>\n<p>President Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/116926450735170990\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote<\/a> on Truth Social earlier Wednesday that Iran had released a U.S. citizen, but he did not identify the person.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She is now safely outside of Iran, and in good condition,&#8221; Mr. Trump said. &#8220;The United States of America appreciates this gesture of Goodwill by Iran.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The State Department declined to comment on the situation.<\/p>\n<p>Several Americans\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/iran-evin-prison-journalist-reza-valizadeh-pleads-for-medical-help\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">are imprisoned<\/a>\u00a0in Iran, two of whom have been legal designated as wrongfully detained: Kamran Hekmati and Reza Valizadeh. The State Department can label U.S. nationals as &#8220;wrongfully detained&#8221; based on multiple criteria, including credible evidence of their innocence or reports that they are being held to extract concessions from the U.S. government.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, CBS News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/iran-evin-prison-journalist-reza-valizadeh-pleads-for-medical-help\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">obtained a recording<\/a> of Valizadeh, an Iranian-American journalist, pleading for his release from inside Tehran&#8217;s notorious Evin Prison. <\/p>\n<p>The release of detained Americans <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/live-updates\/iran-war-us-trump-peace-deal-agreed-israel\/#post-update-50909f2e\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">was not part<\/a> of the memorandum of understanding signed by the U.S. and Iran last month, which extended the two countries&#8217; ceasefire for 60 days.
