Trump ‘Convinced’ Himself Not To Attack Iran, After Tehran Allegedly Canceled 800 Executions<\/h1>\n
\n

READ HERE:<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Update(1658ET)<\/u>:<\/strong>\u00a0President Trump issued another somewhat bizarre Iran statement on Truth Social on Friday. He repeated the White House line that\u00a0800 executions that were scheduled and supposed to take place yesterday were halted<\/strong>\u00a0in Iran. He even\u00a0‘thanked’ the Iranians<\/strong>\u00a0for not carry out the supposed mass execution plan:<\/p>\n

“I greatly respect the fact that all scheduled hangings, which were to take place yesterday (Over 800 of them), have been cancelled by the leadership of Iran. Thank you!” he wrote earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

He also told reporters\u00a0“I convinced my myself” not to attack Iran<\/strong>, after painting himself in a corner by essentially setting red lines previously. Trump had said days ago if Iranian authorities kill protesters they would get hit hard by the US.<\/p>\n

As for the “800 executions” – it’s very unclear where this number came from. Certainly Iranian state media or officials haven’t said any such thing, and there’s a likelihood it’s just propaganda<\/p>\n
