Ali Salehi, the Tehran prosecutor, responded to Donald Trump's recent claim about the cancellation of the death penalty for rioters, stating: "Trump always talks nonsense and without reason. Our response is decisive, deterrent, and swift." He emphasized the judicial process, announcing: "Currently, a large number of cases have resulted in the issuance of indictments and have been sent to court." Donald Trump had previously stated that the Islamic Republic has refrained from executing protesters.
