Trump publicly asks Iran to release eight women reportedly facing execution ahead of negotiations
President Trump posted on Truth Social asking Iranian leaders to release eight women reportedly slated for hanging, framing the request as a goodwill gesture ahead of upcoming negotiations. The post included pictures of the eight women and was notably softer in tone than Trump's usual Iran messaging. U.S. and Iranian negotiators are scheduled to meet in Islamabad, Pakistan, for a final round of talks before a two-week ceasefire ends.
