Trump touts that Iranian women he asked to be released won’t be executed
This is a bit of a bizarre saga.
Yesterday, Trump reposted a bit about 8 Iranian women who he said were scheduled to be hanged and he asked to release them.
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!!! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP
Now he writes:
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! President DONALD J. TRUMP
The thing is, it's been reported that the women were never facing any kind of death sentence. Oslo-based Iran Human Rights reported yesterday that two of the women were out on bail already.
Iran’s also responded to Trump's post, saying some of the women have already been released without naming them. It said none of them faced the death sentence.
It's tough to understand what's going on here, whether someone bamboozled him on Truth Social or he was trying to stitch something together to claim a win, some kind of diplomacy meant to make Iran look merciful or something else.
In any case, the market is taking it as good news and I think that's the right take. If Trump's happy, then the market is happy.
