Her release was part of a broader diplomatic effort involving Italy, Argentina, and Iran, with Italy's Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani expressing gratitude to Iranian authorities for their cooperation.

Her release marks a significant moment in the ongoing tensions between Western countries and Iran over issues of human rights and diplomatic relations.
