Donald Trump, the President of the United States, in response to a reporter's question about Iran, stated that officials of the Islamic Republic intended to execute 837 people, but were deterred from carrying out this action after his warning. Trump announced that he informed Iran that if these executions were carried out, "a very bad day" awaited them, and ultimately, "no one was executed."

He noted that he cannot make definitive statements about the future, but it seems the execution plan has been taken off the agenda, although last week these executions were supposed to take place on Wednesday or Thursday. Trump concluded by saying that one must wait for future developments regarding Iran. He also did not respond to a reporter's question about the removal of military options and did not rule out the possibility of military action against the Islamic Republic.
