🚨 JUST IN: PRESIDENT TRUMP RESPONDS TO IRAN EXECUTION DECISION 🇺🇸🤝🇮🇷
President Donald Trump has publicly thanked Iran’s leadership after Tehran reportedly cancelled the planned executions of more than 800 prisoners — a move Trump says influenced his decision not to launch a military strike.
In a message shared on his social media platform, Trump said he “greatly respects” Iran for calling off the hangings, which had been widely reported amid intense nationwide protests and international pressure.
This marks a sharp pivot from recent days, when Trump warned of “grave consequences” if Iran proceeded with mass executions.
🌍 WORLD WATCH: The situation inside Iran remains tense and complex, with large-scale protests, heavy crackdowns, and conflicting narratives continuing to unfold.
