President Donald Trump announced that eight women protesters in Iran facing execution will NOT be put to death after his direct intervention.

On Tuesday, Trump urged the Iranian regime to release the detainees:

“To the Iranian leaders, who will soon be in negotiations with my representatives: I would greatly appreciate the release of these women. I am sure that they will respect the fact that you did so. Please do them no harm! Would be a great start to our negotiations!!!”

Just one day after President Trump publicly demanded their release on Truth Social as a goodwill gesture ahead of critical negotiations, the President announced the life-saving breakthrough.

Trump announced on Truth Social that the executions scheduled for tonight have been halted. Four of the women will be released immediately, and the other four will receive only one-month prison sentences.

“Very good news! I have just been informed that the eight women protestors who were going to be executed tonight in Iran will no longer be killed. Four will be released immediately, and four will be sentenced to one month in prison. I very much appreciate that Iran, and its leaders, respected my request, as President of the United States, and terminated the planned execution. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Recall the horrors we’ve reported here at The Gateway Pundit. During the January 2026 nationwide protests against the tyrannical Ayatollah regime, the IRGC unleashed live ammunition on unarmed demonstrators, killing thousands, including hundreds of women and young girls.

Iran’s execution machine went into overdrive, with the regime hanging protesters in public squares as a warning to anyone daring to demand freedom.

Just five days ago, we reported on the barbaric plans to execute the first female protester, Bita Hemmati, along with her husband and two others, after a sham Revolutionary Court trial. The regime has been ramping up its reign of terror, executing 65 women in 2025 alone, a sickening record, while the so-called “international community” and left-wing media looked the other way.

Last month, the bloodthirsty Iranian regime carried out public hangings, executing three young men, including a promising 19-year-old wrestling champion, over their alleged involvement in anti-government protests earlier this year.
