Exclusive: No Iran-US prisoner exchange, spy release has taken place

Press TV's investigations have found no evidence to support claims of a prisoner exchange between Iran and the United States. 

Also, no spy has been released by Iran in recent days.

The denial came after US President Donald Trump announced early Thursday on Truth Social that an American citizen detained in Iran had been released. 

Trump said the American, whom he claimed was arrested during the Biden administration in 2024, had been freed and thanked Iran for the gesture while also insulting his predecessor.

Trump has a history of being misled by false sources, including his claim of the imminent execution of eight women prisoners following the January 2026 riots in Iran, and his report of a young man's execution in Karaj. 

Iran's Judiciary previously dismissed Trump's claims regarding the eight women, stating that he had been "misled once again by fake news."
