Iran Alters Sentencing Under External Pressure on Women's Cases

US President Donald Trump declared on Wednesday that Iran has consented to free several women involved in anti-government protests, following his direct request. Trump stated that leaders would release four women immediately, while four others would receive reduced sentences.

The president expressed gratitude toward Iran for heeding his appeal and halting planned executions. The announcement came after reports suggested imminent executions for several women involved in January's unrest. Some had already been released on bail in the previous months.

Meanwhile, the Iranian judiciary denied any pending executions, clarifying that some women had already made bail. This situation highlights the impact of international diplomacy on domestic judicial decisions in Iran.
