Trump Claims Iranian Women Spared

In a social media post, Trump celebrated the apparent release of the protesters as a sign of respect for his leadership.

However, the Iranian judiciary quickly dismissed the claim, asserting that the legal cases against the women involved different charges that did not carry the death penalty.

Human rights advocates have expressed confusion over the conflicting reports, noting that the status of many detainees in Iran remains opaque.

The incident highlights the complex information warfare accompanying the ongoing peace negotiations.

Trump has used the supposed concession to defend his diplomatic strategy amid criticism from both political allies and rivals.
