Donald Trump: "We have been told that the killing in Iran is being stopped, has stopped, or is in the process of stopping, and there are no plans for any execution or executions. So I have been told—by reliable sources—and we will be looking into this matter. I'm sure if such a thing were to happen, we would all be very upset, including you who would be very upset with us. Right now I have received information that the killing has stopped, the executions have been halted, and no executions are supposed to take place—something that many people have been talking about over the past day or two. Today was supposed to be the day of execution." @VahidHeadline Still nothing clear about military action. 📡 @VahidOnline
