Trump Claims Iran Halted Executions; Tehran Vows "Fast Trials"

U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Wednesday that plans to execute anti-government protesters in Iran have stopped. He said he received this information "on good authority." His comments directly contradict signals from Tehran. Iranian authorities have promised swift legal action against demonstrators, including fast trials and executions. The conflicting statements come amid ongoing protests in Iran. The unrest was triggered by a rise in fuel prices. No independent confirmation of a halt to execution plans is available. The situation remains tense.
