Iran Rejects Trump’s Claims over 8 Women Set to Be Hanged
Tehran refuted US President Donald Trump’s claims that eight women were set to be executed in Iran.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Iranian Judiciary clarified that some of these individuals have been released, while others are facing charges that, if upheld by the court, may lead to imprisonment. “Trump was misled once again by fake news,” the statement read.
In a post on his Truth Social platform on Tuesday, Trump re-posted an American-Jewish activist’s claim that eight women are facing execution, asking the Iranian leadership to release the eight.He also stated that the women’s release could be a great start to US-Iran negotiations.
The judiciary also stated that following the foreign-backed unrests in January, Trump made a baseless assertion, falsely thanking Iran for halting the execution of more than 800 prisoners—a completely groundless claim lacking any credible evidence. “It’s not surprising, as this marks yet another instance of his misleading assertions,” the statement added.
