The Trump administration has officially designated Iran as a state sponsor of wrongful detention, heightening pressure on Tehran amid rising military tensions and stalled diplomatic efforts.

The move coincides with ongoing nuclear talks in Geneva and follows high-profile cases of Iranian-Americans detained in Iran.
