WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he’s been told “on good authority” that plans for executions in Iran have stopped, even as Tehran has indicated fast trials and executions ahead in its crackdown on protesters.
The U.S. 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 U.S. might respond and it wasn’t clear if his comments Wednesday indicated he would hold off on action.
“We’ve been told that the killing in Iran is stopping -- it’s stopped -- it’s stopping,” Trump said at the White House while signing executive orders and legislation. “And there’s no plan for executions, or an execution, or executions -- so I’ve been told that on good authority.”

Have the Ayatollahs heard about FAFO? They should seek advice from Maduro.
So in other words,
“Ayatollah guy told me they stopped and everything is cool.”
I give up.
Vance: I am not going to take that bet. I've learned better.
Miller: Bet the media hasn't yet.
Wonder just who is the good authority is?
He needs to do something. Even something token.
I’m sorry....we sorta promised. The “good authority” being leaked to the world that we can see is that those folks are being gunned down in the streets. Surely, we can’t not know where the IRGC folks lay their weary heads after a night of killing their countrymen...
The AP is completely loathsome. I’m sure their boy biden would have clobbered them with pallets of fat cash by now.
I wonder what the Chicoms think about this. First their boy Maduro, and now the mullahs. “You give oil now! Ping pong!”
Looks like no help is on the way for the Freedom Fighters in Iran.
AP sets the bar for despicable leftist/rat propaganda. Believe nothing from them re-source any story.
Either he’s playing a game of chicken with Iran or he’s not going to do anything and just let them keep protesting on their own. I dont like it how he makes promises like “help us on the way” if he’s not going to do anything
It has been clear for several days that the anti government demonstrations were tiny and rare. There was never any killing of them because they were too insignificant.
When your population is 95% Shiite, it’s absurd to think revolution is pending. They have the government they want.
I have a hard time believing that Trump is not going to take advantage of the opportunity to help dump this terrorist regime in the dustbin of history. He will when his chess pieces are in place.
The truth is there isn’t that much we can do. It is a muslim country on the other side of the world.
I’m not going to believe the AP’s spin on the situation. I’m waiting for the US to take some punitive action. I doubt the killing has stopped but even if it has, we still need to punish the Iranian government for the killings that took place already. Especially after Trump’s statements that help is on the way.
The only outlet claiming that the killings of protesters have stopped in Iran is TASS. Which tells you everything you need to know....
Fortunately, U.S. intelligence gathers information from sources beyond Russian state propaganda.
The truth is Trump should not have made promises that he had no intention
of keeping.
Only listened to Glenn Beck for five minutes or so.
“If the current regime in Iran is not overthrown, they will round up all the dissidents and kill them.”
Can’t argue with that.
Just don't!!!
RE:...your population is 95% Shiite...
And the shiite hits the fan.
>>”It has been clear for several days that the anti government demonstrations were tiny and rare.”
It has been clear for several days that you don’t know what you’re talking about.
