Iran Dismisses Trump's Claim Regarding Death Sentences for Eight Women

Tehran. US President Donald Trump has claimed that Iran has agreed to halt the execution of eight female protesters in a gesture of respect toward him. In a social media post on Wednesday, Trump described this move by Iran as 'very good news.'

He stated that four of the eight women would be released immediately, while the remaining four would serve one-month prison sentences. Just a day after announcing a unilateral ceasefire amidst US and Israeli military operations, Trump thanked the Iranian leadership for accepting his request.

However, Iran has completely rejected Trump's claim, labeling it baseless and fabricated. Tehran clarified that there were no plans to execute these women and accused the US President of spreading fake news to salvage his reputation. Responding to the claim, the Iranian judiciary's official news agency, 'Mizan,' commented that after failing to achieve results on the battlefield, Trump is resorting to false narratives to manufacture a victory.

Trump has appeared frustrated recently after Iran refused to open the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for 20 percent of the world's oil and gas shipments. Analysts suggest that Trump brought up the issue of the female prisoners after Iran remained unmoved despite the ceasefire he announced on April 8 and extended on Tuesday.

According to Mizan, Trump has fallen into a trap of misinformation spread by anti-Iran groups. Asserting that Iran has made no such agreement or concession, Mizan clarified that while some women have already been released and others are serving prison terms, none have been sentenced to death.
