"TRUMP: We've been told that the killing in Iran is stopping And there's no plan for executions, or an execution, or executions. So, I've been told that on good authority. We'll find out about it. I'm sure if it happens, we'll all be very upset. Including you will be very upset. But that's just gotten to me, some information, that the killing has stopped, that the executions have stopped. Obviously the killing stopping would be a very good thing."
"The killing hasn't stopped. I think what the president is referring to is the hanging of Erfan Soltani. He was a 26-year-old protester who was scheduled to be hanged today, and that's been postponed indefinitely by the Islamic regime, probably because they don't want to antagonize the president further and invite kinetic action. But here's what I think is going on."
President Donald Trump claimed that killings and executions in Iran had stopped and that he had been told this on good authority. Nazee Moinian, born in Iran and a refugee from the Islamic Revolution, rejected that claim and stated the killing has not stopped. Moinian noted a scheduled hanging of 26-year-old protester Erfan Soltani was postponed indefinitely, likely to avoid antagonizing the U.S. President. Moinian said the President is attempting to keep promises to Iranians while placating Gulf states worried about instability, oil markets, and reactions from Iran's leadership, and that past bold U.S. actions have had significant effects.
