Iran protest killings have halted, Trump claims, as Tehran says executions are ‘out of the question’
AI Summary
Donald Trump claimed he received assurances from unnamed sources that Iran has halted the killing of protesters and will not carry out executions, though the US has not verified these claims. This announcement came after reports that over 3,400 people were killed and 10,000 arrested during Iranian protests. Iran's state media also announced that Erfan Soltani, who was reportedly facing imminent execution, had not been sentenced to death. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told Fox News that executions in retaliation for the protests are "out of the question." These developments follow heightened tensions, including Iran closing its airspace, evacuation advisories at a US military base in Qatar, and warnings to regional countries hosting US bases.
