Trump urges mercy for women; Iran denies execut!on claims

BREAKING: President Trump calls for the release of eight women being held by the Iranian government as a first step of peace negotiations with the United States.

He said, ""I would greatly appreciate the release of these women. 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!!!"

 However, the judiciary’s official Mizan Online website said, “Trump was misled once again by fake news."

“The women who were claimed to be on the verge of execution, some of them have been released, while others face charges that, if convictions are upheld, would at most result in imprisonment.”

Trump earlier said on social media that the women’s release could work in Iran’s favour in negotiations, re-posting an activist’s claim that eight women are facing death by hanging. That claim did not give names, but included photographs of the women.
