Donald Trump stated that he has received reports indicating “the killing in Iran has stopped,” amid ongoing violent crackdowns on protests that have reportedly resulted in over 2,400 deaths. Despite this, he did not dismiss the possibility of military action against Iran and expressed support for ongoing protests. Meanwhile, the UK temporarily closed its embassy in Tehran, and the US reduced personnel at the Al-Udeid air base in Qatar as a precautionary measure. Iran’s Foreign Minister denied reports of imminent executions, while Trump remained cautious about supporting opposition figures within Iran.
