President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Iran has decided not to carry out the planned execution of eight women and will instead release four of them, while sentencing the remaining four to one month in prison.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said he had been informed that the executions scheduled for Wednesday night would no longer take place after he called on Iranian authorities to halt the actions. He thanked Iranian leaders for what he described as their decision to “respect” his request as president.

The individuals identified as part of the case include Bita Hemmati, Ghazal Ghalandari, Golnaz Naraghi, Venus Hossein Nejad, Panah Movahedi, Ensieh Nejati, Mahboubeh Shabani, and Diana Taher Abadi, according to the Lawfare Project.

The reported development comes amid broader tensions between the United States and Iran following stalled diplomatic efforts and uncertainty surrounding ceasefire discussions. Trump said earlier this week that he was extending a ceasefire period while calling for what he described as a more unified proposal from Tehran.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Wednesday that the president has not set a firm deadline for receiving an Iranian proposal, pushing back on earlier reporting suggesting otherwise.

The administration’s handling of Iran policy has coincided with inconsistent progress in planned talks, including discussions that were expected to involve senior U.S. officials but did not proceed as scheduled.

Iran has also been the subject of renewed intelligence debate in Washington, with some U.S. officials cited in reports suggesting the country retains more military capability than publicly acknowledged. The White House dismissed those claims as inaccurate, accusing some media outlets of amplifying Iranian narratives.

The situation remains fluid, with no formal confirmation from Iranian authorities regarding the reported sentencing changes or releases.
