Trump praised the cancellation of death sentences in Iran
Former US President Donald Trump openly praised the cancellation of death sentences in Iran following mass protests. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
On his page on the Truth Social platform, he welcomed and expressed gratitude for the cancellation of over 800 death sentences by the Iranian leadership. Trump's statement is related to his previous warnings.
He had emphasized that if executions of protesters continued, harsh measures could be taken against the Iranian leadership. Human rights organizations have warned in recent weeks that hundreds of people in Iran might be executed.
At the same time, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that there is no plan to kill protesters. The protests began in December 2025 at the Tehran market against hyperinflation and rising prices and soon spread throughout the country.
Western media reported that more than 2,400 people died in the protests and 18,000 were detained. On January 16, Trump announced that he refrained from a military strike on Iran.
Among the reasons for this decision were the cancellation of death sentences, as well as diplomatic efforts by Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, and Oman, and advice from Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. Trump's advisers emphasized that overthrowing the regime in Iran was not guaranteed and that such an action could harm US forces and allies.
The US administration set four demands for Iran: to set uranium enrichment standards, reduce its missile arsenal, resolve the issue of enriched uranium, and conduct negotiations through reliable mediators. Although protests in Iran have subsided, the political situation remains tense.
Prince Reza Pahlavi, living in the US, has called for the overthrow of the Iranian regime and demands stricter measures from Washington. In conclusion, the cancellation of death sentences was an important signal, but the complex relations between the US and Iran continue.
The major political game is not over yet, and the parties are closely monitoring each other's actions.
