"Trump surprised many during an Oval Office Q&A on Thursday, saying, We've been told that the killing in Iran is stopping, and it's stopped, it's stopping. And there's no plan for executions, or an execution, or executions. He later added that his administration would take a wait and see posture before following through on Trump's promise to intervene if Iran killed protesters, which it has done en masse in recent days."
"Netanyahu spoke to Mr. Trump on Wednesday, the same day the American president said he had received information from very important sources on the other side' that Iran had stopped killing protesters and was not going forward with executions. That appeared to signal that Mr. Trump was backing away from a potential U.S. attack on Iran, which he has been weighing for days."
Benjamin Netanyahu called President Donald Trump to urge postponement of any plan to attack Iran following the mass slaughter of pro-democracy protesters. Trump said killings appeared to be stopping and that there was no plan for executions, and he adopted a wait-and-see posture regarding intervention. The call coincided with Trump's claim of receiving information from "very important sources" suggesting Iran had halted executions. Other Middle Eastern allies, including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Oman and Egypt, also urged the United States not to attack Iran, warning that an attack could spark a wider regional conflict.
