President Trump Was Asked About Iran's Plan to Execute More Protesters, and His Response Was Perfect

Iran is planning to execute four more protesters in an attempt to quell further uprisings while the Islamic nation is in talks with the U.S.

The four people, Mohammadreza Majidi-Asl, Bita Hemmati, Behrouz Zamaninejad, and Kourosh Zamaninejad were arrested in January and sentenced to death earlier this week.

Bita Hemmati is the first woman to be publicly executed for her ties to the anti-regime protests.

A reporter asked President Trump about these executions, and this was his response.

A pretty amazing response from President Trump to this reporter question:

REPORTER: Iran is going to execute four more protesters, including the first woman protester. What do you tell Iran?

TRUMP: Tell that to the Pope. pic.twitter.com/K3jTlaMVX0
— Andrew Kolvet (@AndrewKolvet) April 16, 2026

The pope has been critical of the Trump administration's war in Iran and the larger Catholic hierarchy in America has been critical of his immigration policies, too.

One might never know it by the rhetoric of Pope Leo XIV, but the Islamic theocracy that rules over Iran is a brutal regime.

Iran just sentenced four protesters to death. Why hasn’t Pope Leo criticized Iran?

If there is criticism, it's far less vocal and public than the criticism of the Iranian regime.

It's part of a bigger problematic mentality that Islam and Christianity can peacefully coexist. As we see in Africa and Europe, and a slew of Islamic nations, they cannot.

Was it wrong for protesters to be killed by the Iranian leaders’ police?

If it isn’t so bad as the Dems and Pope* may say, then what if our government started mowing down the antifa, woke, Dem, anti-semitic Communists in our riots and protests?

He did not quickly say it is evil to kill the protesters in Iran and it makes it a just war for Trump to be prayed for as a good man leading good soldiers on a holy mission against the evil Iranian rulers.

When the Muslims turn St. Peter’s into a mosque the Pope will realize what fools they have been.

Many other women have been executed, just not for that particular “crime”.

The First Woman to be executed.

This is usually a reason for celebration among the Dhims and legacy media who are obsessed with anything first: She is the FIRST Muslim woman!

If he is a fool, he will not realize it. You are giving him the tool of insight, which he obviously doesn’t have. Either that or the islamacysts have threatened to kill him if he says anything bad about the muslims.

I would guess that during the “truce” many weapons have been smuggled in to Persian forces. At least, I hope so.
Maybe, they know that Iran will break the truce and then the bombing of IRGC positions and weaponry ensues and subsequent overthrow of the mullahs. I am sure there are IDF and USA operatives on the ground in iran. We saw that with rescue of the pilot.

>> Love him or despise him, Trump, in his instinctual way, has a habit of exposing hypocrisy and trite religious sloganeering for what it is.

Love him. Voted for this!!!

To hell with that progressive crapstain of a Pope. This “Leo” SOB is WORSE than Francis, and I didn’t think that was possible!

Better wipe out that entire civilization so they don’t kill protestors again.

I wonder if Pope Leo XIV is a follower of Liberation Theology?

At present the Popester is trying to establish "Street cred" by skipping around and dancing a jig in foreign, dysfunctional heathen lands.
