Trump claims killing of Iran protesters ‘has stopped’ even as Tehran signals executions ahead

Share FacebookTwitterWhatsAppPinterestLinkedinCopy URLTelegramEmailTumblrReddItPrintKoo WASHINGTON, Jan 15: President Donald Trump on Wednesday said that he’s been told “on good authority” that plans for executions in Iran have stopped, even as Tehran has signaled fast trials and executions ahead in its crackdown on protesters. The US president’s claims, which were made with few details, come as he’s told protesting Iranians in recent days that “help is on the way” and that his administration would “act accordingly” to respond to the Iranian government. But Trump has not offered any details about how the US might respond and it wasn’t clear if his comments Wednesday indicated he would hold off on action.
