The first time he told Iran not to kill anyone did not work out very well for its leaders.
EXCERPT FROM NEW YORK POST:
President Trump announced Wednesday that Iran will no longer execute eight women after he pleaded Tuesday for their freedom — calling it “very good news” in a social media post.
“I have just been informed that the eight women protestors who were going to be executed tonight in Iran will no longer be killed. Four will be released immediately, and four will be sentenced to one month in prison,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“I very much appreciate that Iran, and its leaders, respected my request, as President of the United States, and terminated the planned execution.”
Im praying this is true but its Iran, for all I know the prisoners are already dead..I double dog dare ANY commie to have a No Kings protest in Downtown Tehran, see how it works out for them, then maybe they will think twice about “No Kings”
They are using their own people as hostages. Sounds familiar.
I still don’t believe they’re safe.
No one in Iran is safe.
Evidently, this is one of Trump’s true social comments.
Turns out it’s not real. The Iranians have stated that no such thing was going to happen. There were no women to be executed.
Trump increasingly makes these erratic and chaotic truth social posts that have no bearing to reality whatsoever.
Just as a general rule of life NEVER trust a muslim.
So what makes you so sure that Trump is lying and not “the Iranians?” I assumed the opposite when I read their account in the Times of Israel.
Yup... Because we can believe what the Iranian’s say. LOL
“President Trump announced Wednesday that Iran will no longer execute eight women after he pleaded Tuesday for their freedom”

That’s worrying.
A few days ago when Trump declared that Iran had ended its blockade and that it would ”never block Hormuz ever again”… Iran blocked it completely the very next day, and now Iran is actively using its Mosquito fast intervention fleet (which seems 100% intact and operational) to attack tankers, shooting all over the place. Iran stole two tankers today!
Thus, I presume those 8 women will be killed in coming days by the anti-Christ regime in Tehran.
I am praying that the Iran regime follows through and that these innocents are released and that they’re not physically and emotionally scarred.
If anyone including Trump, really believes this, I have a secret potion they can buy that will magically make them 20 years old again.
If you believe the Iran regime, Iran’s judiciary publicly rejected Trump’s claim, stating:
No executions had been scheduled,
Some of the women had already been released,
Others faced charges that could lead to imprisonment but not imminent execution.

However… Human rights groups (including Amnesty International and Hengaw) have confirmed that several women arrested during the January 2026 protests were indeed at risk. For instance, Bita Hemmati was reportedly sentenced to death, and Mahboubeh Shabani faced capital charges of “waging war against God.”
Some identified in the post include teenagers (16-year-olds Diana Taher Abadi and Ghazal Ghalandari) who were detained, though their exact sentencing status was less clear.
So, While Iran claims “no one was facing execution,” human rights records show that at least two of these specific women were indeed in extreme legal peril.
In my view … Ultimately, the “truth” is likely a de-escalation tactic. Whether a formal “execution order” existed or not, the high-profile attention has made it politically impossible for Iran to execute these women right now without sabotaging the peace negotiations they desperately need to lift the naval blockade.
