Trump Says Iran's "Killing" Has Stopped, Possibly Hinting at Deferring Military Action Against Iran

Odaily According to foreign media reports, U.S. President Trump stated that he has received assurances that Iran will stop "killing" protesters, a remark suggesting he may defer military response to the protest incidents in Iran. Affected by this, international oil prices experienced a short-term drop of up to 4%. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday: "We have been told that Iran's 'killing' is stopping—it has stopped. And there are no plans for executions, nor are executions being carried out." He said he would be "very disappointed" if this information proves untrue. Prior to these remarks, Trump had called on the Iranian people to continue opposing the Khamenei government and stated he would "act accordingly" after learning the death toll of protesters.
