U.S. President Trump Appreciates Cancellation of Scheduled Executions in Iran

Donald Trump, the President of the United States, expressed gratitude for the cancellation of scheduled executions in Iran. In a message posted on his Truth Social account on Friday, January 26, he stated: "I greatly respect the fact that all scheduled executions that were supposed to take place yesterday (over 800 of them) have been canceled by Iran's leaders. Thank you!" The U.S. President had previously announced that he had been informed that the killing of protesters had stopped following his warnings, and there is currently no plan for widespread executions in Iran. He also emphasized that he would 'review' this matter. Mr. Trump had repeatedly warned against the killing of protesters against the Islamic Republic and its repressive apparatus. In recent weeks, President Trump has explicitly expressed his support for Iranian protesters, warning against the killing of protesters and stating that if protesters are executed, the United States would take 'very decisive actions.' The crackdown on protests in Iran has so far resulted in the deaths and injuries of thousands; however, the exact number of casualties is unclear due to the complete internet shutdown.
