Iran releases Italian journalist Cecilia Sala from jail
Briefly

"Tehran has denied speculation that her arrest was linked to Rome's detainment of an Iranian businessman that the United States accuses of involvement in an attack on its military."
"I want to express gratitude to all those who contributed to making Cecilia's return possible, allowing her to embrace her family and colleagues again," Meloni posted on X.
"Held in solitary confinement in the Iranian capital's notorious Evin prison, Sala... had been working on a regular journalistic visa."
"Italian commentators have speculated that Iran was holding Sala as a bargaining chip... Iran has often been accused of using prisoners with Western ties for such purposes."
