Iran on the Brink: Assurances Against Immediate Executions, Trump Remains Cautious

The situation in Iran remains extremely tense, with the United States considering the possibility of military intervention. Iran assures that no executions of protesters will take place immediately, while Donald Trump says he will “wait and see.” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that no hangings are expected today or tomorrow, responding to questions about the suppression of protests. Trump, for his part, said he had information about the non-scheduled execution of protesters. Iran states that it is ready to face potential US attacks. Non-Governmental Organizations report that at least 2,400 protesters have died since December 28, while the internet shutdown makes access to reliable information difficult. The United States has moved the Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf, strengthening its military presence in the region. At the same time, an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council has been scheduled to discuss the situation in Iran.
