Iran's top prosecutor, Mohammad Movahedi, refuted claims made by former U.S. President Donald Trump that Iran had canceled over 800 scheduled executions. Trump had posted on Truth Social that the executions were halted by Iranian leadership, expressing his respect. Movahedi, however, stated that Trump's claim is "completely false," asserting that no such number of executions was scheduled and that the judiciary had not made any such decision. Movahedi's comments were published by the Iranian judiciary's Mizan news agency. He also emphasized the separation of powers within Iran and denied taking instructions from foreign entities.
