Trump Says Iran Halts Execution Of 8 Women Protesters After His Appeal

Trump said four of the women would be released immediately, while the remaining four would face reduced sentences of one month in prison.

He thanked Iranian authorities for what he described as accepting his request, though there has been no official confirmation from Iran.

Trump had earlier published a list of Iranian activists reportedly facing execution and urged Tehran to halt the sentences, framing the issue as a human rights concern.

Iran has not publicly responded to the claims about suspending executions, leaving uncertainty over the status of the detainees and the broader implications for ongoing diplomacy.

The development comes as a fragile ceasefire between the United States and Iran has been extended, despite earlier warnings from Trump that it would lapse without progress in talks.

Tensions between Washington and Tehran have remained high in recent months, with intermittent negotiations aimed at easing conflict and addressing security concerns across the region.

A planned second round of talks in Islamabad was postponed after Iran declined to send a delegation, raising doubts about diplomatic momentum and the durability of the ceasefire.
