President Donald Trump stated on Wednesday that Iran consented to halt the execution of eight female protesters, attributing this outcome to his direct appeal to Iranian officials, although Tehran has disputed his claims that the women were set for execution.
“Excellent news!” I have just received word that the eight female protestors scheduled for execution tonight in Iran will not be executed. Four will be freed right away, and four will receive a one-month prison sentence. “I greatly value that Iran and its leaders honored my request as President of the United States and canceled the intended execution,” Trump stated in a Truth Social message.
Iranian authorities have refuted claims that they were prepared to carry out executions of any women. The conflicting narratives contribute to persistent concerns regarding the reliability of information related to specific cases within Iran’s legal system.
Trump’s declaration comes after earlier occasions where he inaccurately asserted supposed death sentences in Iran that were subsequently challenged or unverified.
At the same time, the president has prolonged a ceasefire with Iran and promised to maintain a US blockade on Iranian ports, urging Tehran to present a unified proposal to restart talks. Xenix News has stated that the government had received almost no response from Iranian officials by Tuesday night.
