President Donald Trump begged Iran’s leadership to release eight women he believes will be executed as his administration attempts to negotiate a peace agreement.
The 79-year-old president expressed hopes that a delegation, likely led by Vice President JD Vance, will strike a “great deal” with Iran during talks in Pakistan, but he shared a post from a pro-Israel influencer to set a new condition to open negotiations.
“To the Iranian leaders, who will soon be in negotiations with my representatives: I would greatly appreciate the release of these women,” Trump posted Tuesday morning on Truth Social. “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.”
Iran has executed at least 600 people so far this year, on pace to exceed the record 1,639 people executed last year, but the nation’s government has not confirmed that eight women pictured in an X post by right-wing influencer Eyad Yakoby have been sentenced to death.
“BREAKING: The Islamic Republic is preparing to hang eight women,” Yakoby posted Monday night. “Not a word from the international community or so-called human rights organizations.”
Yakoby’s post shows photos of eight young women with their hair uncovered, which is legally required in Iran since the 1979 Islamic revolution, and the post does not contain any identifying details about them or links to any other supporting evidence.
