On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump stated that Iran would no longer execute eight women protestors, expressing his appreciation for the regime's response to his request. In a post on Truth Social, Trump announced that four of the women would be released, while the others would serve one month in jail. However, Iran's judiciary denied Trump's claims, asserting that there were no plans for execution and accusing him of fabricating achievements from false news. This announcement came shortly after Trump extended a two-week ceasefire with Iran, although the naval blockade of Iranian ports remains in effect. Meanwhile, Iran seized two container ships attempting to leave the Gulf, but the White House stated this action did not violate the ceasefire as the ships were not flagged by the US or Israel.
