According to a report by The Times Of Israel on April 22, 2026, US President Donald Trump has thanked Iran for allegedly halting the execution of eight female citizens following his request.
Trump claimed a day earlier that Iran had planned to hang eight women, basing his statement on an unverified post made by a pro-Israel activist on social media.
A rights group later stated that at least two of the eight women had already been released when Trump made his appeal to Iran’s leadership.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote: “Very good news! I have just been informed that the eight women protestors who were going to be executed tonight in Iran will no longer be killed,” Trump says in his latest Truth Social post. “Four will be released immediately, and four will be sentenced to one month in prison.”
He further added: “I very much appreciate that Iran, and its leaders respected my request, as President of the United States, and terminated the planned execution,” Trump adds.
The claims have not been independently verified, and there is limited publicly available evidence confirming the full details of the situation. Human rights organizations have previously raised concerns over the treatment of protesters in Iran, often calling for transparency and due process in such cases.
The development has drawn attention amid already strained relations between Washington and Tehran.
As of now, no official Iranian confirmation has been issued regarding the alleged executions or their cancellation, leaving the situation open to further verification and scrutiny by international monitors and media outlets. Read_More…
