donald trump claims eight iranian women Protesters were spared execution after his intervention, a statement that drew objections from Iranian officials. “Very good news! I just learned that the eight female protesters who will be executed tonight in Iran will no longer be killed,” Trump wrote on The Truth Society.
He added that four would be released immediately and four others would be sentenced to one month in prison, thanking the Iranian leader for respecting his demands.
The US president had earlier appealed to Iranian authorities, writing: “I am deeply grateful for the release of these women… Please don’t hurt them! This will be a good start for our negotiations! ! ! “
Iranian embassy issues ‘fact check’
However, Iranian officials and diplomatic channels strongly questioned Trump’s version of events. The Iranian Embassy in Sierra Leone posted a response on X, calling Trump a “failed warmonger, a liar, and an absolute liar.”
The embassy also issued what it called a “fact check” and said: “Four of the eight Iranian women mentioned by Trump yesterday as being hanged have been freed for weeks. The others are not facing execution.”

Questions about a claim
Questions have also arisen about the accuracy of Trump’s remarks. Human rights groups believe only one of the women, Bita Hemmati, was sentenced to death, according to the American Mirror.
Meanwhile, the Iranian embassy’s response suggested that the situation had been completely misrepresented, insisting that several of the women mentioned had been released.
White House backs Trump
Despite criticism, White House Support Trump’s statement. Press secretary Carolyn Leavitt praised the president in an interview with Fox News, saying, “Only President Trump could have saved the lives of these eight beautiful Iranian women… Now that’s all thanks to President Trump because he is a humanitarian at heart.”
Levitt also said Trump extended the ceasefire with Iran while negotiations continue, adding that he had not set a deadline for Tehran to respond and that the timeline would be “determined by the commander in chief.”
The developments come amid a fragile ceasefire between the United States and Iran, with both sides continuing to exert pressure in key areas such as the Strait of Hormuz.
