Donald Trump stated that he has been informed that executions in Iran have stopped and are not planned, amid heightened tensions between the US and Iran. He also added that there are no plans for US military action, but remains cautious and will monitor the situation. The statement followed reports of an impending execution of Erfan Soltani, which ultimately did not take place. At least 3,428 protesters have been killed in Iran since the beginning of the demonstrations, and over 10,000 people have been arrested, according to the NGO Iran Human Rights.
